What does Squid smell like?

Squid opens fresh and aquatic, with frankincense, salicylate and pink pepper on top. The heart holds opoponax, salty notes and drawing ink, with a sweet, resinous and slightly smoky layer over them. The base of benzoin, ambergris and musk softens everything and closes on an animal warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and summer, with winter chosen by fewer. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, while business and sport get few votes. Most voters read it as masculine, though modern and feminine each draw a sizeable share. Mirus Fine Fragrance Driftwood and Fragonard Santal Cardamome have a close profile.
