What does Gideon smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base: leather and tobacco give a leathery, smoky feel that iris and carnation soften, while cedar lays down a woody ground. Sichuan pepper adds spice and civet a warm animal edge, and grapefruit and bergamot lightly brighten the sweet, green and resinous sides.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, with some votes for leisure, daily wear and business. It reads masculine.
