What does 25 Obscuratio smell like?

Ylang-ylang brings the floral, creamy side, Bourbon vanilla adds sweetness, and Indonesian patchouli sets it on an earthy, woody base. A spicy touch runs through it, giving a warm, soft and slightly dense blend.

Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Both longevity and sillage are rated good. More voters call it feminine than masculine, but the masculine vote is sizeable, so the unisex label fits.
