What does Dark Woods smell like?

The sweetish citrus brightness of tangerine runs through the whole scent. Cypress and moss set a green, woody and earthy base, while ginger adds a spicy warmth. Resinous and faintly gourmand touches keep it from turning too cool.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads as unisex, neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Victorinox Swiss Army Forest and Organic Perfume Girl Woodland have a close profile.
