What does No. 16 smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn and winter also get votes. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions, and some voters choose it for nights out too. Most see it as feminine, but classic, modern and masculine each draw votes as well.

After the citrus top, peach and rhubarb give the heart a fruity sweetness, while galbanum adds a green edge. In the base, vanilla, cedarwood and iris settle it into a powdery, creamy, woody finish.
