What does Hinoki Shower smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring, summer and fall, with winter getting a smaller share. It is chosen most for leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. The largest share of voters reads it as masculine, though modern and feminine votes are not far behind.

It opens with turpentine, camphor, cypress and pine, which give a cool, resinous greenery. In the heart, Georgywood®, thyme and cedar build a woody, spicy frame. The base leaves a smoky, earthy trail of tree moss, tobacco and vetiver. Aquatic and synthetic touches keep the clean, just-showered feel up front.
