What does Volume 1 - Intelligence & Fantasy smell like?

It opens bright with pink pepper, bergamot and mandarin orange, while freesia and magnolia soften the citrus with a floral touch. The heart brings tiaré absolute, osmanthus and rose. In the base, cashmeran, cedar and sandalwood add a woody dryness and musk a quiet depth. The overall impression is green-tinged, fruity and slightly synthetic.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine.
