What does Monocle Scent Two: Laurel smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. It reads more masculine than feminine.

The scent is fresh and citrusy, with lemon and laurel keeping it light. Thyme, galbanum and cinnamon leaf shape the green, spicy side, while cedar and oak build a woody base. Patchouli adds an earthy, slightly smoky depth.
