What does George Sand smell like?

The top notes of Sicilian lemon and bergamot give a sharp citrus lift. In the heart, rose, patchouli and sandalwood lead, with the floral side balanced by spicy and woody tones. The base of musk, amber and oud settles into a sweet, powdery, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. The rich structure suits cooler weather and evening wear best. The Fragrance Kitchen Arabia and Arabian Oud Woody have a close profile.
