What does Messenger smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Only a few people have rated it, so these figures are a rough guide. It reads as fresh and understated, suited to men and women alike.

The top opens with bergamot, grapefruit and ginger: sharp, clean citrus with a touch of spice. In the heart, orris root, jasmine and magnolia turn it powdery and floral. The base of cedarwood, amber, musk and patchouli settles into a warm, woody finish. Bujairami Vibration and Rasasi Hawas Black have a close profile.
