What does Karst smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and calm. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter chosen less often. It suits daily wear and leisure best, and it also works in an office. More voters call it masculine, though it sits comfortably as unisex.

It opens with bergamot, juniper and pink pepper, bright with a slight edge. In the heart, rosemary, cumin and sage bring a green, spicy thread. Cedar, sandalwood and vetiver settle into a woody, earthy base.
