What does Castling smell like?

Bergamot, fleur de sel and fig leaf give it a clean, lightly salty, green start. In the heart, lotus, freesia and iris add a soft floral note. The base of musk, Indian sandalwood, vanilla wood and Madagascan vetiver sets a woody, creamy ground, with a slight lean towards sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes lean feminine, with modern close behind. Etro Udaipur and Kayali Musk | 12 have a close profile.
