What does Black Cedarwood & Juniper smell like?

It opens with cumin and chili leaf, which bring a dry, spicy edge. Juniper berry takes the heart, and black cedar with moss settles the base into something woody and earthy. Fresh and green accords dominate, with a faint animal touch staying in the background.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Voters split between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex profile.
