What does Rigor Mortis smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters find the strength above average, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not settled. It leans neither masculine nor feminine.
The scent has no top, heart and base split and reads as a single whole. Aquatic notes, metallic notes and aldehydes bring a fresh, synthetic coolness, while sulfur and blood add an animal, earthy shadow beneath it. Floral notes and buchu soften the edges, and sweet, powdery and woody sides show in the accords.
