What does Northern Flicker smell like?

Ponderosa pine, fir needle and French pine absolute form the backbone, while American spearmint and peppermint keep it bright. Bergamot adds a citrus touch, and tobacco absolute, labdanum and vetiver pull the scent towards something resinous and earthy. The overall impression is fresh, green and spicy.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, and most longevity votes fall on the high side. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are a guide rather than a verdict. It reads as unisex and has been discontinued.
