Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind, and it leans towards office and daily wear. Half the character votes call it masculine.
The pepper and nutmeg are softened by fruity green mandarin. Sage, cedarwood and white lavender give the heart a green, woody feel, while tonka bean and amber add sweetness over oakmoss and woods, leaving a powdery base.
