WoodyWhat does Empower You smell like?
It opens bright and fruity with blackcurrant, mandarin orange, ginger and grapefruit. In the heart, geranium, Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac absolute add a soft floral layer. The base settles on musk, cedarwood and patchouli, with frankincense deepening it slightly.
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the vote counts are small, so treat these figures as tentative. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, then business, with sport and evening also getting some votes. Bond No. 9 The Scent of Peace and Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman have a close profile.
