What does Mojave Strange smell like?
Arizona juniper and blue spruce give it a resinous, woody backbone. Wild flowers and spicy notes soften it, while Ericameria nauseosa adds a green, earthy edge. The overall impression is clean and dry, closer to a forest than a bouquet.
Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it is chosen most for leisure and work. More voters call it masculine, but a good share read it as feminine. Olympic Rainforest and Nemat Hina 500 have a close profile.
