What does Hemlock smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and voters read it as slightly more feminine than masculine.

Jasmine sambac, black magnolia and white blossoms form the floral heart of it. Cinnamon, clove and pink pepper bring spice, while benzoin, vanilla and tonka bean add sweetness. Sandalwood and suede give it a woody, leathery base. There is a fresh, green and slightly synthetic feel too. Parfums Quartana Venetian Belladonna and Gallivant Amsterdam have a close profile.
