What does Grinch smell like?
It opens with pine, nutmeg, bergamot and juniper berry, a cool, spicy green. In the heart, black tea, orris root, galbanum and Palo Santo lead it into a dry, smoky woodiness. The base is weighted towards clove, leather, red sandalwood and myrrh, while castoreum and Papua oud add a dark, animal depth. Sweet and fruity accents stay in the background and soften the sharp wood. Two perfumes with a close profile are Wolf Brothers Bear and Ensar Oud Mélange Privée.
