What does Sailing Day smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer, with spring second; leisure, daily wear and sport lead the occasions, while evening gets very few votes. On character, masculine edges ahead, though a fair share of voters read it as feminine.
The opening of juniper, aldehydes and marine notes is crisp and salty. Coriander, orris absolute and rose add a soft floral touch in the heart. In the base, red algae, ambergris and orcanox keep it aquatic and green, with a slightly synthetic sheen.
