What does Moss Gown smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays present on skin for hours without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure and daytime wear and suits evenings too. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits between the two.

Green and fresh accords lead. Violet leaf and tree moss bring a cool edge, while sandalwood and cedarwood set a woody base. Rose, mimosa, lilac, narcissus and chamomile add a sweet floral note, and spicy, resinous touches keep it soft but balanced. Tom Ford Vert de Fleur and Annette Neuffer Chyprette have a close profile.
