What does Salvia Sclarea smell like?

It opens with bergamot, violet leaf, elemi resin and grass, which read bright and green at first. Clary sage and jasmine form the heart, with the floral side softened by a cool, spicy edge. The base of white musk, cashmeran and oakmoss settles it onto a woody, slightly synthetic footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it sits comfortably between the two. Atkinsons Tulipe Noire and Mark Buxton Perfumes Wood and Absinth have a close profile.
