The top pairs aldehydes with star anise for a fresh, lightly spiced start. Hawthorn and sandalwood in the heart add a soft floral, woody layer. In the base, patchouli, sandalwood and white musk come forward, and the scent turns sweeter, earthy and powdery.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine.
