What does Oesel smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and masculine and feminine votes run close, so it sits comfortably on either.

It opens with lemon and orange blossom for a bright citrus feel, backed by Paraguayan petigrain's green edge. The heart brings Bulgarian rose, acacia and jasmine sambac in a soft floral layer. In the base, patchouli, cedarwood, tobacco flower and amber carry it into a sweet, spicy, powdery, creamy woodiness.
