What does [³Li] Lithium smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as a whole. Flintstone, saffron, spices and leather give it a hard, smoky edge. Iris and rose soften that with a floral side, while patchouli, musk and cedarwood set a woody, animalic foundation. Sweet and fruity tones also appear among the accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. It reads slightly more masculine, though a good share of voters call it feminine. Amberbomb and Franck Boclet Musc have a close profile.
