What does Max Richter 01 smell like?

The top opens with cumin, Comorian ylang-ylang and Spanish cade juniper, and the heart carries the spice on through pimento, tagetes and Madagascar pepper. The base settles into Indonesian patchouli, Haitian vetiver and three different cedars, giving it a woody, resinous footing. Overall it reads green and smoky, far from sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, followed by winter, and leisure and business are the most common occasions. Masculine and modern lead the character votes, though a fair share also call it feminine. Perfumer H Ink and Mendittorosa North have a close profile.
