What does Symposium smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes next, and summer is the least chosen season. It does best for leisure, evenings and nights out. Voters mostly read it as masculine and classic, though a fair number find it feminine.

Saffron, iris and lavender sit beside wine, vanilla and tonka bean, which give it a sweet, fruity warmth. Amber, Crete labdanum, patchouli and ambergris ground it in a resinous, woody, slightly smoky base, while musk softens the surface with a powdery touch.
