Absinth and clary sage open fresh and green. In the heart, jasmine and rosewood add a soft floral touch, while cedarwood and vetiver settle into a woody, resinous and earthy base. The overall feel is fresh and green, with a slightly synthetic edge.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.
