What does Adux smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It reads comfortably on both men and women, with a bright, lightly spicy profile.

It opens with citrus and apple in a crisp fruity freshness. In the heart, cardamom, patchouli, grass and pineapple add a spicy, green edge. It dries down on birch, oakmoss, ambergris, musk and oud, a woody base with a slightly salty feel. Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria and Giardino Benessere Stereope have a close profile.
