What does Son Of a Gun smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence: woods, frankincense and resins lay a dry, earthy ground, while spices sharpen it. Tar and gun powder add a smoky, leathery edge, and amber softens that edge a little.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer trailing behind. It leans towards evening, leisure and night-out wear, and voters most often call it masculine or classic. Spiritwoods Kraꓘen and Meo Fusciuni Buio have a close profile.
