What does Clean Reserve Avant Garden - Galbanum & Rain smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter chosen least. Leisure comes first, followed by business and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes are split evenly, so it sits comfortably between the two.

The top opens with aquatic notes, star anise and Sichuan pepper, cool and lightly spiced. In the heart, frankincense and galbanum add a green, resinous edge. The base of cedarwood, white moss, Clearwood™, Haitian vetiver and patchouli dries down woody and earthy.
