What does Delphes smell like?

Violet leaf and black pepper give it a green, lightly spiced start. Patchouli, olive wood and cedarwood build a woody heart, and sandalwood with oakmoss softens the base. Aquatic, smoky and slightly synthetic touches round out its cool side.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it suits leisure, daytime and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Mexx Black Man and Montblanc Explorer Platinum have a close profile.
