What does Sleepy Hollow smell like?

The opening holds apple brandy, spices, night-blooming jasmine and patchouli. In the heart, musk wool, oakmoss, leaves and balsam fir come forward. The base settles into oud, styrax, beeswax and hay. Green, fruity, sweet and resinous accords meet in an earthy chypre character.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions. More voters read it as masculine, though some call it feminine. Serge Lutens Chypre rouge and Molinard Chypre d'Orient have a close profile.
