What does Punk romantic smell like?

Black pepper brings the spice up front. In the heart, olive wood and juniper berry lay a dry, woody ground. The base of sandalwood, musk and Bourbon vanilla sweetens it and softens it into something powdery, creamy and resinous.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure time. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, and it reads as a modern unisex scent. Commodity Gold and Bershka Metropolis Deep have a close profile.
