What does Equistrius smell like?

The scent is soft and powdery throughout. Violet, Florentine orris butter and rice powder build a creamy base, while suede and sandalwood add a dry, leathery and woody edge. Chocolate and ambrette keep the sweetness in the background, and ambergris rounds it off. Fresh and green touches show in the accords too.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office best. Votes lean towards a feminine character. Those after a close profile might look at Laboratorio Olfattivo Nirmal and Andrea Maack Smart.
