What does Aldehyde 44 smell like?
The aldehydes give it a clean, slightly synthetic brightness, while the floral absolutes pull it toward a green, powdery side. Vanilla and musky notes soften it into a creamy sweetness, and fresh, aquatic and woody tones also show in the accords.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans toward daily, leisure and office wear. It reads mostly feminine and modern, though a fair number of voters call it masculine.
