What does Polder smell like?

Bergamot, grass and green notes give it a crisp, herbal feel, while basil, mugwort and carrot seed push that greenness in a drier, spicier direction. Magnolia adds a soft floral note, tonka bean, amber and musk sweeten it, and cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver set a woody base.

Voters find its longevity good and its sillage moderate. Most pick summer and spring, and see it as a leisure or daily scent, with office wear also well represented. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Sospiro Vibrato and Xerjoff Torino23 have a close profile.
