What does Dream Woods smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure and night out are the most mentioned occasions. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine and suits both daytime and evening wear.

The top notes of ginger, cardamom and grapefruit give a bright, spicy citrus lift. In the heart, quince, fig and lavender add a fruity, floral softness while driftwood begins the woody thread. The base of patchouli, tonka and vanilla settles into a creamy, powdery sweetness.
