What does Wirtanen smell like?

The top opens with Bulgarian rose, Philippine ylang-ylang and Calabrian bergamot. In the heart, Indian black pepper, Laotian and Cambodian oud and night-blooming jasmine come forward. The base of Bourbon vanilla, Indian sandalwood, musk and caramel leaves a sweet, resinous warmth, with smoky and leathery shades running through it.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour it for evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as genuinely in between.
