What does Hesperys smell like?

It opens with petitgrain and lemon, bright and clean. The heart of lavender, rosemary, sage and chamomile adds a green, lightly spicy character, while orris butter softens it with a creamy touch. Patchouli and musk form a plain woody base underneath.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and see it as a leisure, daily or office scent. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly in between. Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia and Nicolaï Cologne Sologne have a close profile.
