What does Mills smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters point to nights out, leisure time and evenings; it reads mostly masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.
The top notes are clove, vetiver and bergamot. The heart holds pimento, saffron, black pepper and elemi resin, and the base rests on leather, tobacco and cinnamon. The sweet, gourmand side is balanced by spicy, woody and smoky accords. Its profile is close to Spicebomb Extreme and Spicebomb.
