What does Notes smell like?

The top is citrusy and green, with bergamot and clary sage. At the heart, orange blossom, geranium and costus add a floral, slightly spicy and powdery layer. In the base, vetiver and oakmoss form a woody backbone, softened by the sweetness of tonka bean, with a faint animal edge in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office use also chosen. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Tauer Perfumes Nexin have a close profile.
