What does Hylnds - Pale Grey Mountain, Small Black Lake smell like?

The opening of lichen, water pepper and stone is cool, spicy and mineral. In the heart, marsh violet, heather and beech wood add a woody, earthy greenness, and the base of sea breeze and aquatic notes finishes it on a watery note. The resinous and smoky accords stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind, and it leans towards leisure and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it sits comfortably as a unisex scent. Juniper Ridge Sierra Granite and Andromeda's Curse Swamp Witch have a close profile.
