What does Kham-Sin smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further back. It is chosen mainly for leisure and nights out, and voters read it as masculine first, with some calling it modern or classic.

Mandarin orange and petitgrain give it a bright citrus feel, while peppermint and thyme cool it down and add a spicy edge. Tonka bean, chocolate and violet soften the sweetness, and amber, labdanum and patchouli bring a resinous, woody weight. The overall impression is fresh yet leaning sweet, with a noticeably synthetic tone.
