What does Shine smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. Winter and summer get votes too, but most voters lean towards the in-between seasons. Most voters find it masculine, with some calling it classic or modern, though it wears fine on anyone.

It opens with osmanthus and bergamot for a fresh start. The heart builds a woody, resinous and lightly spicy body from cashmeran, benzoin, nagarmotha, amber and cedarwood. The base of iris and ISO-E-Super leaves a powdery, smoky warmth, with synthetic and earthy tones in the background. Knights Fragrances Vanoir and Noble Forest have a close profile.
