What does 08 Seylon smell like?
Citrus leads, then elemi resin, vermouth and nutmeg bring a spicy, resinous depth to the heart. As it dries, vetiver, benzoin and oakmoss take over, and the scent moves from green towards smoky and earthy.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and place it in leisure and business settings. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, though it is a unisex scent.
