What does Marconi 3 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine or classic.

It opens with cinnamon, coriander, star anise and coconut, giving a spicy sweetness. Rose, geranium and iris bring a floral, powdery softness to the heart. In the base, tolu balm, vanilla, patchouli and oakmoss settle into a resinous, gourmand, slightly animal warmth.
