What does Fundamental (2015) smell like?

It opens with white grape, mandarin orange and bergamot, a sweet and fruity freshness. In the heart, Italian orris butter, beeswax absolute, labdanum, clary sage absolute and lavender bring a floral, green side. The base of Atlas cedar, sandalwood, Java vetiver, leather and cocoa absolute dries down into a warm, woody, animal and smoky finish.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads balanced between the two. Rubini Fundamental (2023) and Aigner Black for Women have a close profile.
