What does Ýdalir smell like?

As a whole it reads like a conifer forest: balsam fir needle and Siberian stone pine form a green, resinous frame, while oakmoss absolute adds earthy depth. Juniper tar draws a smoky, spicy edge, and fossilised amber softens the roughness a little.

Its sillage is rated good, and most voters find the projection strong, though the number of votes is small, so take that as an early sign. The woody, smoky build suits both men and women, so it is genuinely unisex. Perfumes with a close profile include Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 and American Perfumer Bloodline.
