What does Knowledge smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it is noticeable through the day without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits between the two.

Citrus dominates the opening, followed by myrrh, lavender, maté tea and rose. The base of musk, hedione and ISO-E-Super leaves a clean, synthetic sheen. It reads fresh, floral and lightly spicy, with a fruity touch.
