A pine, incense and vanilla scent that smells like a forest walk.
Bright citrus and juniper open onto a resinous, piney middle with a little incense. It dries to a soft sandalwood and vanilla with a faint powdery edge. Its mix of green and warm notes has made it a frequent pick for people who want something outdoorsy but smooth.
