What does Shinrin-Yoku smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though with few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so it is hard to say when it suits best, but it reads as a relaxed scent that doesn't lean toward either gender.
The accords are fresh, citrus, green, spicy, woody and earthy. Yuzu and bitter orange give a bright citrus lift, and black pepper adds a dry spice. Forest soil, loam, vetiver and patchouli ground it in a damp, earthy base, while cedar leaf and coniferous woods round out the woody greenness. Aquatic notes cool the overall impression.
