What does Idyllwild smell like?

Grapefruit and lavender give a bright citrus and herbal start, softened by rhubarb tea. In the heart, sagebrush, cypress and Douglas fir build the feel of a resinous pine forest. The base adds woody weight through cypriol and ponderosa pine, with cardamom for spice, while musk and oud stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and votes split between masculine and feminine, so it suits either.
