CreamyWhat does Gatsby 22 smell like?
The top is fresh and lightly spicy, led by citrus and pink pepper. In the heart, osmanthus, violet and orange blossom add a soft, fruity floral note. The base of tonka bean, vetiver, leather and musk dries down woody and creamy.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with fall not far behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear, and reads more masculine than feminine while staying unisex. Câline Dark Mystery and Le Labo Limette 37 have a close profile.
