Floral · Green · Sweet
House of Puente Medusa is a unisex scent that sets jasmine, Moroccan rose and orange blossom on a powdery, green chypre base.
Medusa's longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind that. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; evening, night out and leisure are the most named occasions. Votes split between feminine and masculine without a clear winner.
It opens on jasmine, and the heart turns floral and powdery with Moroccan rose, orris root, orange blossom and Egyptian jasmine. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, civet and oakmoss brings an earthy, faintly animal chypre feel, with sweet and spicy touches in between. Its profile is close to Angela Flanders Precious One and One Seed Symphony.
