What does Big Sur Eucalyptus smell like?

It opens with blue gum eucalyptus, spindrift and woods, reading aquatic and airy. In the heart, rosemary and cardamom add a spicy, herbal edge, with magnolia softening it slightly. The base of leaves, cypress and eucalyptus acorn settles into a green, woody finish, with a faintly synthetic side among its accords.

Sillage is moderate and longevity is rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is used mainly for leisure and daily wear. It leans a little toward masculine. Le Couvent Anori and Jaguar Pace have a close profile.
