The By line

2 versions

Differences come from accords and community votes on longevity and sillage.

In plain words

The main accords of By are fresh spicy and woody. It opens with Nutmeg and Pepper, reveals Lavender and Artemisia at its heart, and dries down to Sandalwood and Tobacco. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
