What does Emblem smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and voters tend to call it masculine and modern.

The opening is bright and slightly bitter, with grapefruit and cardamom softened by clary sage. The heart turns floral and spicy through cinnamon leaf and violet leaf. The base settles into a sweet, balanced finish of tonka bean and woody notes. Armaf Voyage and Montblanc Legend Red have a close profile.
