What does Hylnds - Spirit of the Glen smell like?
The top is pear, pineappleweed, Scotch whisky and grass, so a fruity freshness meets the warmth of whisky from the first moment. Limousin oak and hay form the heart, and the base rests on bourbon whiskey barrel, barley malt and sherry cask. The overall feel is sweet and gourmand, over a spicy, woody, earthy and smoky ground.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with leisure wear close behind. More voters read it as masculine, though it remains unisex.
