What does Aridal smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows, and summer is chosen less often. Nights out, evenings and leisure time lead the occasions. Voters lean slightly masculine, though it suits women and men alike.

The top opens dry and spicy with nutmeg, pink pepper, elemi resin and cypress. In the heart, Italian iris and jasmine add a powdery softness, while patchouli and cashmere wood keep the woods in front. The base settles into a creamy sweetness from benzoin and sandalwood, kept dry by dry woods and papyrus.
