What does Aétai smell like?

Black violet and wild iris carry the floral side, while protea adds a green edge. Sandalwood, patchouli and frankincense build a woody, resinous, earthy base, with pink pepper and clove adding spice and ambergris giving it a soft depth.

Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters see it as feminine. Aēsop Rōzu and Keiko Mecheri Patchoulissime have a close profile.
