What does Poplars and Planes (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with green mandarin, petitgrain and leaf green, while pine needle absolute adds a sharp, woody edge. The heart centres on rose, beeswax and hay absolute, with poplar bud and oak wood keeping it green. The base turns sweet, earthy and slightly smoky through tolu balm, labdanum, patchouli and oakmoss.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. DSH Perfumes Seve de Pin and The Voices of Trees have a close profile.
