Rhapsody

Rhapsody wears strong and projects well. Most voters recommend spring and fall, with summer close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet it also fits business and daily wear. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though a good share of voters call it masculine.

The notes are best taken as a whole: rose, ylang-ylang and jasminum grandiflorum absolute give it a floral frame, while maté adds a fresh, green touch. Oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver anchor it in a dry, earthy chypre base, and sweet, creamy and fruity facets soften the florals. Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs L'Original have a close profile.
