What does Quarzgrau smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. The most common character vote is masculine, though it sits comfortably in unisex territory.
It opens with frankincense and black pepper, resinous and spicy. Three kinds of cedar form the woody core in the heart. Vetiver, patchouli and ambergris underneath add an earthy, smoky depth. The overall feel is cool, dry and cleanly synthetic.
