What does Sillage smell like?
The top holds violet, oud and saffron, while frankincense, raspberry and jasmine form the heart. Ambergris, benzoin, suede, musk and vanilla settle in the base. The fruity and sweet accords lead, balanced by spicy, woody and leathery tones.
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with office wear well behind. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine.
