What does Genre smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though those ratings rest on few votes. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it pulls in neither direction.

The scent as a whole is leathery and smoky. Suede and animalic notes weigh heaviest, while frankincense adds a resinous warmth. Green and spicy accords stay in the background, and a woody, powdery side softens it. Pekji Holy Shit and The Merchant Of Venice Nuit Feline have a close profile.
