What does Spinal Fluid smell like?

The top holds steam, fuel, tear accord and fire, while meat and blood sit in the heart. The base brings ash, bluebell and blue sky accord. Despite floral and aquatic accords, the scent reads synthetic, spicy, earthy and leathery.

Voters find its longevity good and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as unisex. Imaginary Authors Bull's Blood and Sylhouette Parfums Molotov Cocktail have a close profile.
