Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes run close, so it doesn't pull firmly in either direction.
It opens with orange and pink pepper. In the heart, rose, iris, everlasting flower and frankincense come forward, while musk and black pepper shape the floral texture. The base holds patchouli, benzoin, leather, coffee and opoponax, which carry the scent towards a woody, resinous, smoky finish.
