The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue opens with Cypress, Fennel, Mandarin Orange and Plum — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Orris Root, Hazelnut, Pimento and Peony. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Cacao, Patchouli, Caramel, Cypress and Sandalwood.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Sweet, Warm Spicy, Woody, Fruity, Nutty — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
