What does Impassable Wilderness smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Some choose it for winter, fewer for summer. Leisure gets the most votes, ahead of evening, daily wear, office and nights out. Voters read it as more masculine, then modern.
It is built on oakmoss, resurrection fern, Virginia cedar, Scots pine, grand fir and petrichor. A fresh, green forest feel leads, wrapped in spicy, woody and resinous accords, with an earthy dampness underneath.
