What does Frosted Empire smell like?

Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot make up the bright side, while red tea and maté add a green, slightly dry edge. Beneath them sit benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean and labdanum, a sweet, creamy, resinous warmth that softens the citrus.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Spring and fall lead slightly, though all four seasons are close, and leisure and business are the occasions voters pick most. Memo Paris Winter Palace and Nishane Colognisé have a close profile.
