What does Diapason smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, and most voters pick fall and winter. Evenings and nights out lead, though it also works for leisure time. Voters read it as masculine more often than feminine, though both camps are sizeable.

The floral side comes from geranium and rose, while Atlas cedar and American gaiac wood give it a dry woody body. In the base, musk, amber and Haitian vetiver add an earthy, resinous, smoky warmth, and the animal accord brings a dark depth. Jazeel Shouq and Xerjoff Zafar have a similar profile.
