What does Salvia smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: present without being loud, and not quick to vanish. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall and winter further behind. It leans towards leisure, office and daily wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two.

The top opens bright with green notes, maté absolute, mandarin orange and bergamot. Lily of the valley, sage, clary sage and cedar leaf carry the greenery through the heart. In the base, tonka bean, cedarwood, musk and ambergris soften it into a woody, faintly sweet finish with a light spicy edge.
