What does A Roll in the Hay smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the ratings rest on few votes. Most voters place it in daytime, leisure and evening wear, with office and night out chosen less often. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.

Grass and sweet vernal grass give it a green, dry-field feel, and hay adds a rural warmth. Wildflower honey and vanilla leaf soften this into a gourmand sweetness, with poppy staying in the background. The spicy accord keeps the sweetness from turning sugary.
