What does Future's Past smell like?

Green notes and tamarack come first, while sandarac and balsam add a resinous depth. The overall impression is fresh, green and woody, with spicy and earthy touches keeping it dry and forest-like.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards fall and spring, with winter close behind and summer further back. On character, masculine leads, with feminine and classic reads trailing. Pineward Snoqualmie and Juniper Ridge Siskiyou have a close profile.
