The notes read as a single whole: loam and fern give a damp, earthy green, with balsam fir needle adding a cool edge. Cedarwood, amyris and oud form a woody base, while opoponax and elemi resin bring a resinous warmth. The overall impression is fresh, green and earthy, with spice staying in the background.
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Its unisex character suits those who like natural, woody scents. Fantôme Ruslan and Mad et Len Humus have a close profile.
