What does Ethos of Cities - Taipei smell like?

The top notes are taro, rice and soy milk, which give it a milky, creamy start. In the heart, gaiac wood and iris add a powdery, woody turn. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and musk finishes it in a soft, warm woodiness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and it can work at the office too. Though unisex, voters read it as more modern and feminine. Phlur Cashmere Skin and Hendley Perfumes Untitled have a close profile.
