What does Semi-Bespoke 22 smell like?

It opens with bergamot, petitgrain, clary sage and aldehydes, a bright citrus start. At the heart, May rose, ylang-ylang and Grasse jasmine bring a soft floral note. The base of oakmoss, galbanum, iris and sandalwood turns earthy, powdery and green, with musk smoothing the edges.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a tentative read. It suits men and women alike and leans towards classic chypre lovers. It has been discontinued. Yves Rocher En Avril Un Soir and Loewe Aire have a close profile.
