What does Pentachord White smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters place it in autumn, spring and winter, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for business and evenings. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though the masculine share is sizeable. It has been discontinued.

The notes are rosewood, violet, Bourbon vanilla, orris root and ambergris. Violet and orris root give a powdery floral softness, vanilla carries the sweetness, and rosewood and ambergris add a woody, earthy depth. Spicy and smoky touches stay in the background.
