What does Larrea smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters choose it mostly for leisure, daily wear and evenings out, and it can also work at the office. It sits in an unisex lane, neither clearly masculine nor feminine.

Ocotillo, leather and chaparral lead the scent, with petrichor bringing the smell of earth after rain, and everlasting flower and musk adding a soft base. The woody and spicy accords blend with smoke and resin into a dry, warm whole. Those looking for a similar profile may also check Laserra Obsessive Leather and Meo Fusciuni Buio.
