What does Handfidance smell like?

Rose, Siam benzoin and patchouli sit together in the top; in the heart, musk and Texas cedar soften things and set a woody floor. The base is carried by hinoki wood, tonka bean, Indian oud and vanilla, so the scent turns sweeter and dries down with a resinous warmth.

Voters rate both its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small. It leans towards fall and winter, with spring and summer not far behind. Leisure and evening wear fit it best, and it also works for nights out and the office. Frey Wille Sphinx Mystique and Aaron Terence Hughes Rose share a close profile.
