What does Palindrome III smell like?

Mandarin orange and davana give it a bright, fruity start, while Bulgarian rose and osmanthus absolute build the floral side. Jamaican rum sweetens the whole, and labdanum and patchouli add a resinous, woody depth. Black olive and poplar absolute bring a green, slightly bitter edge.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Roja Parfums Isola Verde and Xerjoff Renaissance have a close profile.
