What does Truly smell like?

Jasmine, hyacinth and red peony form the floral core, while lemon and white peach add a citrusy, fruity lift. Moss and sandalwood ground the scent in something earthy and woody, with a faint spicy touch staying in the background.

Its longevity is rated as strong, though only a few people have voted, so this is an early impression. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone. Issey Miyake A Scent and Saint Hilaire Private Grey have a close profile.
