What does Desert Resin (Cologne) smell like?

The notes sit on one level rather than unfolding in stages: pinyon pine and Utah juniper bring a fresh, green sharpness, cedar and creosote ground it in woody, earthy tones, and tar adds a smoky, leathery edge. Sweet and spicy tones stay in the background and soften the dry, scrubland feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though summer and spring have their share. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits in the middle of the gender line. D.S. & Durga El Cosmico and Juniper Ridge Caruthers Canyon have a close profile.
