What does Thebes smell like?
Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong, with most voters scoring each one high, so a small application is enough to fill a room and cling to clothes. It reads unisex, balanced enough to sit comfortably on a man or a woman.
It opens bright and slightly green with aldehydes, rosemary, bergamot and lily of the valley. In the heart, rose, jasmine and orris butter come forward, softened by musk. The base of vetiver, amber, ambergris and oakmoss joins the animalic notes and dries down resinous and woody.
