What does Hortus Sanitatis smell like?

Papyrus, ginger, cedarwood and vetiver together give a dry, smoky green impression. The ginger's spice sits on the woody structure, while resinous and leathery tones deepen it without making it harsh.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It suits anyone who wants a calm, natural-leaning scent that doesn't pick a gender. The Dua Brand Origins of Nature and Montale Greyland have a close profile.
