What does De Lirius smell like?

The top opens with Haitian vetiver, mahogany and white musk, while gaiac wood, amber and cedar set it on a woody footing. In the heart, honeysuckle, soursop, honey pomelo and magnolia bring a fruity, sweet and floral side, with leaves keeping it green. The base ends on white pepper, cardamom and soil, spicy and earthy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage very strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business come up most often. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though the masculine vote is sizeable, so it sits between the two. Avon Absynthe and Centauri Perfumes Gaea have a close profile.
