What does Somewhere but Nowhere smell like?

The fresh, green, spicy feel of cardamom and black tea is held in check by the leathery edge of leather. Vanilla cream adds sweetness and American cedar a dry, woody backbone. The result reads powdery and earthy with a chypre structure, and it carries a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though the small number of ratings makes these figures tentative. As a unisex fragrance it suits men and women alike. Parle Moi de Parfum Woody Perfecto/107 and Salle Privée Illegal have a close profile.
