What does Trench smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter stays well behind. Daytime, office and leisure wear dominate, with evening chosen less often. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it settles comfortably on either. Celine Cologne Française and Floris Jermyn Street have a close profile.
It opens with fig, mandarin orange and bergamot for freshness. In the heart, orris butter adds a powdery softness and neroli a floral brightness. The base of ambrette, musk and cedar dries down creamy and lightly woody.
