What does Hale Bopp smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out; summer and the office get far fewer votes. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it leans neither way.

The opening pairs cinnamon and nutmeg spice with the brightness of lemon. In the heart, Indian patchouli, African geranium, Tahitian vanilla and Italian sage build an earthy, powdery sweetness. The base of Italian musk, ambergris, Indonesian sandalwood and labdanum leaves a warm, resinous trail.
