What does Essence Noble (2015) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. Leisure, evening and business settings get similar votes. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine, and a fair share call it classic. Perfumes with a close profile include Parfums de Marly Lippizan and Etat Libre d'Orange Je Suis un Homme.

Lemon and green mandarin orange give it a fresh, citrusy start, while sage absolute adds a green, spicy edge. Leather and styrax bring a leathery, resinous depth, with an animal side coming through. Patchouli, moss and cedarwood sit underneath as a woody, chypre base.
