What does Vigor smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it is chosen most for nights out and evenings, and it also works for leisure. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

The top has bitter orange, juniper, vermouth, pear and cardamom, moving through caraway, pine and lavender in the heart. Myrrh absolute, vanilla, Haitian vetiver and tonka bean weigh most in the base. A spicy, green, woody start settles into a resinous, smoky, creamy sweetness.
