What does Aperture smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also gets worn in the evening and on nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens sharp and spicy with aldehydes, white pepper, black pepper and pink pepper. The heart brings together jasmine, lily of the valley, cedarwood and tobacco, so the floral side is balanced by woody, smoky tones. The base of vetiver, musk and amber settles into a sweet, earthy, slightly animalic ground.
