What does Siberian Snow smell like?

Spearmint, labdanum and frankincense give it a cool, resinous start. In the heart, styrax, jasmine sambac and patchouli add an earthy depth. The base of civet, opoponax and amber carries it into a spicy, animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter. Leisure, evening, daily and office wear are all chosen in similar measure. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it doesn't lean clearly either way. Its profile is close to Comme des Garçons Series 3: Incense - Kyoto and Byredo M/Mink.
