What does Junky smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately, so it is noticed up close without filling the room. Most voters point to spring and fall, and it is picked most often for leisure and evenings. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, with votes split evenly between the two.

The start is green and sharp, led by hemp and galbanum. In the heart, violet, iris and gardenia make it floral and powdery. The base of cashmeran, vetiver, cedar and moss gives it a woody floor, while frankincense and opoponax add a resinous, lightly smoky shade.
