ResinousWhat does Cocoon smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading and business use close behind. On character, the masculine side leads slightly, though many voters also call it modern.
Grapefruit and bergamot give the top a fresh citrus bite, while elemi resin adds a faint resinous edge. In the heart, ambroxan, iris and salt lend a bright, aquatic and synthetic feel. Sandalwood and cashmeran settle underneath as a woody base. Its fresh, woody profile is close to Alma de Canarias Fresca and Issey Miyake L'Eau Majeure d'Issey.
