What does Aftermath smell like?

Bergamot and musk come first. In the heart, pelargonium and Bourbon geranium add a floral note, with fruity and spicy accords running through the transition. The base of gaiac wood, benzoin and Peru balsam sweetens and softens the scent.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters point to fall, spring and summer; leisure and evening wear lead, while business and daily use also get votes. Prada Paradigme and Maison Margiela On a Date have a close profile.
