What does Adagio smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters point to spring, then fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.

Vetiver, oakmoss and jasmine open on an earthy, slightly green floral note. The heart holds white musk and leather: the musk brings the powder, the leather the firmness. Patchouli and oud weigh heaviest at the base, leaving a spicy, resinous warmth.
