What does Theseus smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. The largest share of voters reads it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.
The top is bergamot, citrus fruits, black pepper, nutmeg and clary sage, with green notes keeping it bright. In the heart, jasmine, iris and cistus add a floral, resinous softness while vetiver and patchouli set the woody ground. The base of leather, tonka bean, musk and amber settles it into a warmer, powdery finish.
