Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daytime wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it doesn't pull firmly in either direction.
The top notes of petitgrain, Sicilian lemon and litsea cubeba give a fresh opening. In the heart, Haitian vetiver, cedarwood and Mysore sandalwood bring a dry, woody tone. The base of Bourbon vanilla, musk, amber and Siam benzoin settles into a powdery, sweet, resinous warmth.
