What does Recedere smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. Voters pick it most for leisure, followed by daily wear, nights out and business. It does not lean masculine or feminine.

It opens with liquorice and ume. In the heart, styrax and neroli add a resinous depth and a soft floral touch. The base of cedar, moss and plaster settles into a smoky, earthy, dry woodiness. D.S. & Durga Bowmakers and Slumberhouse Norne have a close profile.
