What does Calypso smell like?

Cardamom, bergamot and yellow mandarin open with a spicy brightness, while nutmeg, cinnamon and saffron add warmth. In the heart, blond tobacco, rose and plum come forward, and the sweetness deepens with prune. The base of Atlas cedar, white cedarwood, ambergris, patchouli and vetiver settles into a creamy, woody finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for nights out, leisure time and evenings. More voters read it as masculine and modern than as feminine.
