What does Poker Face smell like?
It opens with spearmint, bergamot, lavender and violet leaf, which give a cool, green first impression. In the middle, black pepper and cardamom add spice while iris brings a soft, powdery touch. Patchouli, cedar and tonka bean settle it onto a woody, sweet and creamy base.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with evenings and leisure time leading, and night outs also common. Voters mostly read it as masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Roger & Gallet Open White and Acca Kappa Volata.
