What does Inception smell like?

The notes are read as one whole rather than split into top, heart and base: citrus notes and green notes come first, floral notes and ozone add lightness, and spices and woods leave a faint dryness underneath. The overall impression is fresh, aquatic and slightly synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits between the two. Gammon Blue Water and Simone Andreoli Silver Marble have a close profile.
