What does Mutiny smell like?
Jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom carry the floral weight, while vanilla pulls the scent towards a creamy sweetness. Saffron and frankincense add a spicy, oriental shade, and oud and cedarwood keep the texture dry and leathery. A fruity, synthetic brightness runs through it.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and nights out and evenings lead the occasions. Most find it feminine, though many call it modern. Mugler Alien Fusion and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
