What does Hakama smell like?

Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring following. It leans towards leisure and business settings and also suits evenings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though it stands as a unisex scent.

Bergamot and Sichuan pepper give a fresh, sharp start in the top. In the heart, nutmeg and clove carry the spice into a warm, sweet tone. The base of musk, labdanum and frankincense leaves a resinous, smoky dry-down.
