What does Constricteur smell like?
Voters rate its longevity as good, though the vote count is small, so that is only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best. It is classed as unisex.
The opening is fresh, citrusy and slightly green, built from marine notes, elemi resin, rhubarb, grapefruit and petitgrain. In the heart, orchid, carnation and monoï add a soft floral note, while patchouli and orange zest bring in some spice and fruit. The base of amberwood, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk and tonka bean settles it onto a woody, earthy footing.
