What does Rhizome 05 smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good. Most pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. More voters read it as feminine, though some call it classic or masculine.

It opens with bergamot, liquidambar and nutmeg, fresh and lightly spicy. In the heart, geranium, patchouli, sandalwood and rose build a floral, woody core. The base of amber, vanilla, benzoin and musky notes settles into something sweet, powdery and creamy. Olibere Le Jardin de Madame Chan and Hayari FeHom have a close profile.
