What does Royal Blend Bourbon smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex.

It opens with cinnamon, mint and basil, a spicy, green start, with bark giving it a dry footing. In the heart, French lavender and bourbon whiskey bring a gourmand turn. The base of El Salvadorian peru balsam and two oak woods leaves a resinous, woody, smoky finish.
