What does Esquive smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring, with the other seasons close behind. It leans towards leisure time and the office. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though it stays unisex.

The top notes of pink pepper and cashmeran give a fresh, lightly spicy, clean-laundry opening. In the heart, musk and leather turn it powdery, creamy and leathery. The base of vetiver, ambrette seed absolute and patchouli settles into a woody foundation, while sweet and synthetic touches stay in the background.
