What does Chicago High smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, and it is also worn for leisure. On character it leans masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine.

Champagne, bergamot and pineapple open bright and fruity. Tobacco and honey then sweeten the heart. Patchouli, leather and amber leave an earthy, resinous warmth at the base. Fruity and sweet accords lead, with spicy and animal tones in the background. Elie Saab Cuir Patchouli and Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea have a close profile.
