SmokyWhat does The Irish smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings, leisure time and nights out lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.
The top opens with lavender, davana, whisky and tagetes. In the heart, oak wood, rose, tobacco and vetiver take over, and musk, patchouli, arnica absolute and cedarwood settle underneath. The overall feel is woody, spicy, earthy and smoky, softened by floral and sweet touches. Xerjoff Wardasina / Rosso Afgano and Profumum Roma Rosae Mundi have a close profile.
