What does Oriental Essence - Eau du Kashmir smell like?

It opens with black pepper and bergamot, bright and slightly sharp at first. In the heart, Kashmiri lavender and geranium give it a green, aromatic line. Tonka bean sweetens the base, while vetiver adds a woody, resinous depth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer further behind. It is worn mostly for leisure, daily use and the office, and most voters find it masculine.
