Cardamom and bergamot bring a spicy freshness beside the soft sweetness of apple and fig milk. Atlas cedar, vetiver and Ambroxan give it a woody, earthy backbone, and the green, fruity side stays bright on top of it.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. Its unisex character suits any wearer equally well. Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks and Montblanc Explorer Infinite have a close profile.
