    What does Freedom smell like?

    Freedom by Förster and Johnsen is a fragrance that opens with Cardamom, Black Pepper, and Basil, transitions into a heart of Geranium, Aquatic Notes, and Grapefruit, and settles into a base of Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Musk. Expect 6-10 hours longevity and moderate sillage. Best suited for spring and summer. Rated 3/5, divisive by the community, 400 votes.

    What others think.

    The bergamot-to-suede arc is a specific kind of shape, and the ylang-ylang shows up late enough to surprise most people. What did the cedar do on your skin?
