OrientalWhat does White Sea smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most common settings. It is described as masculine, though a fair share of voters also read it as feminine.
The top is fresh and green, with lavender, bergamot, rosemary and lemon. Geranium and patchouli give the heart a floral, woody turn. In the base, ambergris, musk and iris settle it into a sweet, powdery, slightly resinous softness. Givenchy Gentleman Givenchy Cologne and Dana Canoe have a close profile.
