What does Dzongkha smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind, and it leans towards leisure and daytime wear. It reads slightly more masculine to voters, though a good share see it as feminine.

The top holds lychee blossom, peony and cardamom, giving a floral, lightly spiced start. In the heart, vetiver, masala chai and Somalian frankincense add a smoky, resinous depth. The base of leather, papyrus and iris pallida settles into a woody, earthy and powdery finish.
