What does Albédo smell like?

The top is floral, with ylang-ylang, mandora and orange blossom, while Bourbon geranium adds a green edge. Rose and Namibian myrrh lead the heart. In the base, New Caledonian sandalwood, green vanilla and tonka bean sweeten and soften the scent, and hyraceum adds an animalic depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few votes back that, so it is not settled. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Ramón Monegal Faïsa and Bogue MEM have a close profile.
