What does Widdringtonia smell like?

Artemisia, bergamot and black pepper lead, and the citrus and green touches give a fresh, peppery start. In the heart, nutmeg, sage and geranium soften the spice. The base is woody, built on vetiver, patchouli, Clanwilliam cedar and benzoin, with the benzoin adding a faintly sweet, creamy edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It sits between masculine and feminine, reading slightly more masculine. It has been discontinued.
