What does Germaine smell like?

The opening of bergamot, lavender and juniper is clean and bright. In the heart, violet, sage and basil bring floral and green tones with a light spicy edge. The base of vetiver, leather, patchouli and musk grounds it in a woody, earthy, leathery footing.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it leans towards leisure, night out and evening wear. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere between the two.
