What does High Inspiration smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a loose guide. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine and can be worn by anyone.

It opens with wild herbs and bamboo, which give a green freshness. In the heart, lemon blossom and jasmine sambac add a floral, slightly creamy note. The base of woodruff, Californian incense cedar and orris root settles it onto a woody, powdery footing, with fruity and sweet touches in between. Its profile is close to Bond No. 9 Central Park West and Sorce The Lovers.
