What does Whip (2014) smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, Verdello lemon and cardamom, while lavender and tarragon pull it towards the herbal side. The heart adds galbanum, iris and violet for a green, floral touch. The base of vetiver, oakmoss and patchouli settles into a dry, woody and slightly leathery finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn a distant third. It suits leisure, work and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. Balmain de Balmain and Eau de Sisley 2 have a close profile.
