What does Brass & Soul smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though only a small number of voters have rated them. The fragrance has been discontinued. It is unisex and sits equally well on a man or a woman.
The top is bright, with mandarin orange, citrus and aquatic notes, while juniper adds a dry coolness. In the heart, Bourbon geranium, jasmine, Provençal lavender and lily of the valley take the lead. The base of cedarwood, amber and vanilla, with smoky notes, softens it and settles it onto a woody footing.
