What does Kyōto smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither stays close to the skin nor fills a room. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and sport not far behind.

It opens with the brightness of bergamot and grapefruit. In the heart, Atlas cedar, coriander and frankincense turn it woody and slightly smoky. The base adds pepper, cardamom and jasmine for a spicy warmth, and the accords also carry a synthetic edge. Baldessarini Del Mar and Dunhill Century share a close profile.
