What does Precious Woods smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it works for leisure time or evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, while a sizeable share finds it feminine.

The scent is built almost entirely on woods: Virginia cedar, Himalayan cedar, Indian sandalwood and New Caledonian sandalwood sit side by side, with Bourbon vetiver and Indonesian patchouli adding an earthy depth. Cistus brings a resinous, slightly sweet warmth, and white sage adds a green lift. Spice and smoke stay in the background. April Aromatics Bohemian Spice and Dries Van Noten Voodoo Chile have a close profile.
