What does Smyrna smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters place it in autumn and spring. It suits daily wear, leisure time and evenings alike. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

Bergamot gives the opening a fresh, lightly fruity edge. In the heart, Turkish damask rose absolute carries the floral side while black pepper adds a spicy bite. The base of sandalwood and cedar leaves a woody, powdery and faintly oriental warmth.
