What does Music Festival smell like?

It opens with red apple, cannabis and violet leaf, so the fruity sweetness comes first. Patchouli, tobacco and frankincense then add a spicy, resinous depth in the heart. Cypress, cedarwood and leather settle into a woody, earthy, leathery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it is chosen mostly for leisure time and nights out. Its character sits between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex label. Boss Bottled Absolu and Tobacco Mandarin share a close profile.
