What does Inverse smell like?
The top opens with coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and mandarin orange, with pepper and lavender rounding out a spicy, bright start. In the heart, benzoin, nutmeg and tonka bean soften and sweeten the scent, while heliotrope adds a powdery touch. The base of patchouli, cedar and amber gives it a woody, oriental footing, and sweetened condensed milk lends a creamy sweetness. Its fougère structure and synthetic edge keep the fresh, spicy and sweet sides side by side. Otto Kern Signature Man and Carolina Herrera Chic for Men have a close profile.
