Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn not far behind. It suits leisure, evenings and daily wear. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; slightly more voters call it masculine, though a good number read it as feminine.
The top is a bright citrus lift of lemon and bergamot. Towards the heart, marine notes and jasmine add an aquatic, green touch. The base of kelp, leather and oakmoss settles it into a woody, leathery and lightly spicy finish. Memo Paris Ocean Leather and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Elixir have a close profile.
