What does Spice and Wood smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with apple, bergamot and lemon, while pink pepper adds a first touch of spice. The heart builds a spicy, earthy body from patchouli, clove, Jamaican pepper, angelica root and orris root. The base settles on vetiver, birch, cedarwood and oakmoss, giving it a woody, smoky floor.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn for business, leisure and daytime, with evening and night out also getting votes. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Creed Aventus and Tiziana Terenzi Orion have a close profile.
