What does Clean Suede / Tom of Finland smell like?

It starts with lemon and aldehydes, which read clean and bright. In the heart, birch leaf, pepper and pine add a green, spicy woodiness. The base of ambergris, vanilla and suede brings a powdery, sweet leatheriness, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer the least favoured. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and voters mostly find it masculine.
