What does Wild Forest smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. It reads masculine.

Nutmeg and pepper give a spicy start, opening into a green, woody heart of violet leaf and cedar. In the base, leather, patchouli, frankincense and vanilla dominate, with ambergris and musk softening them. Floral and resinous touches stay in the background. Féraud Nuit des Sens and Première Note Cedar Atlas have a close profile.
