What does Lacrima smell like?

It starts with a sharp, spicy sparkle from pink pepper and aldehydes. In the heart, woods and elemi resin come forward; in the base, castoreum, labdanum, benzoin and moss pull it towards something resinous, smoky and animalic. The overall impression is dry, green and heavy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant last. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. More voters call it masculine than feminine, but the feminine vote is strong too, so it sits comfortably in between.
