What does Sedley smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and leisure leading, followed by business and sport. Most see it as masculine, though a fair share call it modern. Creed Himalaya and Montblanc Legend Blue have a close profile.

Fresh, citrus, aquatic and green accords lead, with a spicy and woody line behind them. Aquatic notes, bergamot and spearmint give the opening its coolness. Lavender and Bourbon geranium take the heart. White musk, sandalwood and cedarwood settle it onto a soft, woody base.
