What does Vangelis smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, while summer gets the fewest votes. It is chosen most for leisure time, then for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it classic or masculine.

Cinnamon, cardamom, clove and Spanish nutmeg set the spice, while jasmine and carnation balance it with a floral softness. Juniper and Italian clementine add a light freshness. Sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla absolute and almond form a warm, creamy, sweet base.
