What does Syconium smell like?

Honey and milk lead the opening, then fig arrives in the heart and adds a green, fruity note. In the base, Indonesian sandalwood and beeswax settle the scent onto a woody, creamy ground, with earthy and spicy touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters point to fall, spring and winter, and daily wear and leisure come first among occasions. On character, the feminine reading is slightly ahead, though a fair share of voters find it masculine.
