What does Anvers 2 smell like?
The top pairs lime, bergamot, lemon and rhubarb for a bright, slightly tart start, while black pepper and cypress add a spicy, green edge. In the heart, jasmine, mimosa and lily bring a soft floral note over a woody frame of vetiver and cedarwood. The base of musk, amber, tonka bean and vanilla sweetens it and dries down powdery and warm.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter a distant fourth. Leisure, daily wear and business come up most often. Most see it as masculine. Chanel 1932 and Jil Sander Background have a close profile.
