What does Aequalis smell like?

It opens with citron and rosemary, bright and lightly herbal. In the heart, iris adds a powdery softness while tonka bean brings a creamy sweetness. Sandalwood and cedarwood set a woody base, with the floral and spicy touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, then winter, with summer chosen less often. It is worn mostly in the evening and for business, and suits daily wear too. Adopt' Super Papa and David Beckham Refined Woods have a close profile.
