What does Madrona smell like?
It runs along a fresh, green line. Cedar and vetiver lay a woody, earthy base, lavender adds a light floral and spicy touch, and arbutus softens the resinous side.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without leaving a heavy trail. The number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It suits those who enjoy fresh woody scents; L'Artisan Parfumeur Mon Numéro 3 and Robert Piguet Bois Bleu have a close profile.
