What does 1773 - Boston Tea Party smell like?
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only an early indication. There is no vote on seasons or occasions, so nothing can be said about them; being unisex, it suits women and men alike.
The top opens citrusy and fresh with marine notes, salt and bergamot. In the heart, castoreum, leather and black tea build a leathery, green character. The base of ambergris, oak wood and cedar forms a dry, woody, chypre-like ground. Zara Zara Sport and Miguel Matos Sailor Stories have a close profile.
