How does it perform?
From 20 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

SpicyWhat does Ulysse smell like?
It opens with yuzu, neroli, lime blossom and mandarin blossom, bright and slightly green. Lavender, carnation and nutmeg add a spicy warmth in the heart. Vanilla, patchouli and benzoin sweeten the base and settle it into a resinous, woody finish.
Most voters pick spring, then summer, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most see it as masculine, though a fair share read it as feminine.
