What does No 31: Clovewood Lounge smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. It leans towards evening, leisure and night out, though office and daily wear are not far off. It reads masculine and classic to most, with a fair number calling it modern. It has been discontinued.

It opens fresh with lemon, bergamot and pink pepper. In the heart, cinnamon and clove add spicy warmth while rose otto and ylang-ylang soften the floral side. The base of Indian sandalwood, vanilla absolute and tonka bean absolute settles into a sweet, resinous, woody foundation, with tobacco absolute alongside.
