What does The Hope smell like?

It opens with frankincense, cinnamon and cardamom, so spice and resin come first. Cedarwood, patchouli and immortelle then build a woody centre. The base returns to frankincense, adding Haitian vetiver and musk, and the sweet, creamy and smoky accords take over.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters pick fall and winter far more often than summer, and it is most often chosen for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.
