What does Trail of the Grasses / Próba Traw (2020) smell like?

It opens with mandragora and juniper berry; the heart of vetiver, cypriol and galbanum sets a green, earthy, smoky tone. Tree moss and leather form the base. Sweet, spicy and resinous accords soften the sharp greenness, while the chypre and fougère structure gives it a dry frame.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes makes that picture tentative. It suits men and women alike, with a natural, slightly rough character. Atelier des Ors Cuir Sacré and Harry Lehmann Oud have a close profile.
