ResinousWhat does Lions in the Library smell like?
The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Bitter orange carries the fruity, sweet side, while labdanum adds a resinous warmth. Civet leaves an animal trace, and aged paper suggests a dry, powdery library air. Spicy and synthetic tones run alongside.
With no lean towards either gender, it can be worn by anyone. Morph Vision and Tauerville Amber Flash have a close profile.
