What does Bracken Woman smell like?

It opens with wild berries and bracken, a cool green start. In the heart, narcissus, chamomile and lily bring a soft floral note while smoked leather adds a leathery shadow. Patchouli, vetiver and birch settle into an earthy, woody base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for business and evening. Most find it feminine, though a fair share read it as masculine.
