What does El Cosmico smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, while winter sits further back. It is chosen mostly for leisure time and evenings, with office wear a smaller share. Votes for masculine and feminine run close, so it doesn't pull firmly either way.

It opens with pinyon pine, bushes and chili: green, spicy and fresh. Toward the heart, creosote, oak and khella add a woody, resinous, smoky feel. In the base, khella, sand and sweetgale dry down, settling into a plain, earthy softness.
