What does Bowmakers (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear and reads more masculine than feminine. Aēsop Hwyl and Arpa Recedere have a close profile.

It opens with violin varnish, an air accord and mahogany, which gives a dry, clean wood impression. In the heart, cypress, maple wood and colophony take over and the scent turns green and spicy. Moss, tree resin and cedar make up the base, drying down earthy and smoky.
