What does Shawq smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most chosen occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. It leans masculine in character, though it reads as unisex.

The top notes of pineapple, lime, bergamot and blackcurrant build a fresh, sweet fruit opening. In the heart, birch and lily of the valley soften that freshness towards a smoky, spicy tone. The base of ambroxan, amber, musk and patchouli leaves a woody ground. A synthetic accent is also clearly present.
