What does Nu Green smell like?

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak; the sample is small, but the picture is consistent. It stays light on the skin and is noticed mostly up close. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those.

The notes aren't split into top and base, so the scent reads as a whole. Tarragon and spearmint give a spicy freshness, while grass widens the green side. Cedar sets a woody ground and musk leaves a soft, powdery trace. Citrus and synthetic accords round out the clean impression. Penhaligon's The Ingénue Cousin Flora and Perroy BlueForest have a close profile.
