Wide Society Up in the Air is a sweet, spicy and woody unisex scent built around saffron, rum and vanilla, leaning towards evenings and nights out.

What does Up in the Air smell like?

Saffron and chili give it a spicy warmth, while rum and vanilla sweeten it. Birch wood adds a smoky, leathery woodiness, and Florentine iris softens the oriental, resinous feel with a powdery touch. As a whole it reads warm and sweet with a light smokiness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick evening, leisure and night out, and few choose it for daytime or the office. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits comfortably on either. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Ermenegildo Zegna Passion have a close profile.
