What does Wood Haven smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer has a fair following too and winter gets the smallest share. Leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, with business a solid third. The largest share of voters finds it masculine, yet a good number read it as feminine.

The scent is fresh, citrusy and green. Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot give it a bright fruity edge, while black pepper, pink pepper and ginger add a spicy bite. Cedar, gaiac wood and vetiver build a woody, slightly smoky and resinous base, and juniper leaf deepens the green tone.
