What does Sounds & Visions smell like?
Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter a minority choice. It is mostly chosen for business, leisure and daily wear. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It sits comfortably on both men and women.
It opens with citrus, pepper and cardamom, fresh and lightly spicy. Toward the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral note, while nutmeg and rosewood keep it from turning sweet. It dries down to cedarwood, sandalwood and gaiac wood, with the green and fruity tones staying in the background.
