What does Godolphin smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place at work and in daily wear. Most voters call it masculine and classic.

Cypress, thyme and saffron come first. Jasmine, iris and rose add a floral softness in the heart. The base is vetiver, white cedarwood, musk, vanilla and amber, a woody, smoky and leathery floor under the floral, fruity and sweet accords.
