What does Poison Ivy smell like?

It opens with linden blossom, Turkish rose and candied apple, while the two ambergris notes soften the sweetness. In the heart, blue lotus, jasmine sambac, mint and lavender turn the florals greener. The base of hay, tobacco, spices and Thai oud settles it onto a woody, earthy and slightly animalic ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few people have voted so far. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine. It has been discontinued. Lost Tribe Sultry Sambac V2 and Lost Tribe Bruce Wayne have a close profile.
