What does GCC smell like?
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is linked most often to nights out and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as open to both.
The top opens with lily of the valley and iris, floral and powdery. In the heart, bergamot brightens while oakmoss adds an earthy depth. The base brings lavender, oud and ylang-ylang, where fruity and sweet tones meet a spicy, resinous oriental character.
