What does Creature smell like?

It opens with sweet birch, mint and lemon, cool and sharp at first. In the heart, green tea, violet leaf, jasmine and sage soften the greenery. The base of moss, patchouli, cypress and cedar settles it onto an earthy, woody ground, with sweet and spicy tones staying in the background and a synthetic edge running through.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter gets very few votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and works at the office too. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though feminine votes are not far behind. Penhaligon's Sports Car Club and S.T. Dupont Paris Saint-Germain have a close profile.
