What does Semi-Bespoke 17 smell like?

The floral side leads with ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose and iris. Bergamot and citrus notes add freshness, while cinnamon and clove bring spice. Sandalwood, vetiver, moss and leathery notes give it a woody, leathery, faintly animal depth, and the powdery, creamy side softens that edge.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. The rich chypre structure and spiced floral character suit men and women alike. Revillon Detchema and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (2003) have a close profile.
