What does A Different Drummer (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without crowding anyone nearby. Voters lean towards winter and fall, with spring close behind and summer least; leisure and daily wear come first, then the office.
It opens with bergamot and tobacco, then moves into black pepper, patchouli and cedarwood. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and amyris softens the green, earthy, woody feel into something sweeter and resinous.
