What does Dependence smell like?

Longevity and projection are both rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It reads masculine, and no clear season or occasion stands out.

It opens with cardamom, blood orange, valerian and peach, a fruity and spiced start. The heart of cognac, jasmine, davana and rum deepens the sweetness. Vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean and cashmere settle it onto a soft, woody base.
