What does Sketch (2017) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or masculine.

It opens with nutmeg, pink pepper and bergamot, then turns floral at the heart with tuberose and rose. In the base, Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean pull it towards a sweet, creamy, powdery side, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. Juliette Has A Gun Moon Dance and Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli have a close profile.
