FougèreWhat does 2nd Soul smell like?
It opens with juniper, cardamom, nutmeg and bergamot for a spicy freshness, with rum sweetening it slightly. In the heart, myrrh, geranium, jasmine and tobacco come forward. The base is led by suede, patchouli, labdanum and smoke, while cedarwood and vetiver give it a dry, woody floor.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it suits evenings and nights out as well as work and daily wear. It leans masculine but still reads as unisex. Zaharoff Soul Elixir and Amouage Enclave have a close profile.
