Faunus wears with good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring, though autumn and winter are not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and with masculine and feminine votes running close together, it reads as genuinely in between.
As a whole it smells green, spicy and woody, with a resinous warmth over leathery, earthy ground. Leather and oud give it a dry, heavy frame, and hay adds a grassy edge to it. Cedarwood deepens the woody tone, while bergamot softens the severity a little.
