What does Cambouis smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

The notes read as one whole: basil brings a green, spicy freshness, cade juniper wood and birch add a smoky, leathery darkness, and cedarwood rounds it out with a dry woodiness. The overall impression is cool, resinous and slightly synthetic.
