What does Mississippi River smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean towards spring, autumn and winter, and pick summer less often. It suits leisure time, nights out and evenings best. Most voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex. Sospiro Vibrato and Banderas Her Golden Secret have a close profile.

The top opens fresh with bergamot, orange, mandarin orange and mint, while cinnamon, almond and chocolate pull it towards spicy sweetness. In the heart, vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood form a woody backbone. The base of vanilla absolute, tonka bean and musk softens and sweetens the dry-down.
