What does Grey Labdanum smell like?

The top pairs bitter orange, violet and grapefruit, so the citrus and green accords give a fresh start. Patchouli and clary sage in the heart turn it earthy and spicy. Labdanum in the base leaves a resinous, slightly smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with leisure, daily wear and business the most common settings. More voters call it masculine than feminine, yet it sits between the two. It has been discontinued. Ramón Monegal Dry Wood and Chopard Noble Cedar have a close profile.
