What does Affecting Mind smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. Its unisex structure sits comfortably on both men and women. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are only a rough guide.

It opens with sesame, cardamom and ginger, a spicy and slightly dry start. In the heart, cedarwood and hazelnut add a woody, creamy softness. The base of musk, suede and amber sweetens the scent and settles into a warm, leathery finish.
