What does Tailspin (Cologne Mist) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is positioned as a women's fragrance.
Gardenia and floral notes lead, green notes add freshness, and spices give a touch of warmth. The overall impression is fresh and floral, with woody, resinous and powdery shades behind it. Veejaga Christie and Sigilli Tuscia have a close profile.
