What does WhiteSoul smell like?

The top notes are amber, benzoin, tonka bean and labdanum, giving a sweet, creamy, oriental start. The heart adds mirabelle plum, tagetes, mandarin orange and apricot for a soft fruitiness. Heliotrope, orange blossom and saffron close it with a floral, powdery, lightly spicy finish.

Longevity and sillage are both weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Nearly half of voters call it feminine.
