What does Dupont Circle smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters place it in business, leisure and daily wear, while night out and evening come further behind. It doesn't read clearly masculine or feminine, with votes split evenly between the two.

It opens with bergamot, mint, rosewood and lemon for a crisp, citrusy start. Rose carries the floral heart. As it dries, oakmoss, patchouli and cedar set a woody, lightly spicy base; the fresh, green feel runs through to the end, with fruity and sweet touches softening it in the background.
