What does Closed Gate smell like?
Grapefruit, black pepper and Sichuan pepper give it a cool, sharp opening. In the heart, cannabis, sandalwood and vetiver build a green, earthy, woody feel. In the base, labdanum, vanilla and musk carry it into a resinous sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and so is sillage, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. It can read masculine or feminine, and suits those who like a spicy, woody character. Costume National Homme Parfum and Narcotica Narcotica have a close profile.
