Juniper Ridge Sierra Granite is a unisex scent that sets cedar and pine against aquatic notes and stone, and it smells like cool mountain air.

What does Sierra Granite smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: cedar and pine build a woody, resinous frame, while aquatic notes and stone add a cool, mineral edge. Fresh and green lead the accords, with spicy, earthy and smoky touches staying in the background to keep the scent dry and forest-like.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its woody, green character suits hikes and quiet days, and it sits comfortably on men and women alike. Comme des Garçons Monocle Scent One: Hinoki and Viking Revolution Cedar & Pine have a close profile.
