What does Aqaysos smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It is used mostly for leisure, work and everyday wear, and most voters read its character as masculine.

It opens with bergamot, lime and coriander, bright and citrusy. In the heart, blackcurrant adds a fruity sweetness while Sichuan pepper leaves a spicy trace. The base of cocoa bean, animalic musk, white musk and woods softens everything and dries down warm and woody, while an aquatic, synthetic freshness carries through.
