What does Gruia smell like?
Gruia leaves a strong trail: longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, so it stays noticeable on skin for hours. Its density suggests a measured hand when spraying. No season or occasion votes are given to lean on; it reads unisex rather than masculine or feminine.
The top notes of nutmeg, lavender and clove leaf open spicy and aromatic. In the heart, tobacco absolute, violet leaf and copaiba balsam bring together green and smoky tones. The base of woody notes, nagarmotha, soil, musk and opoponax settles into a resinous, earthy, leathery dry-down.
