What does Vicuña Wool smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It is worn most for evenings and nights out, then for leisure. Half of voters read it as masculine, a quarter as feminine.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and black pepper for freshness and spice, while elemi resin adds a resinous edge. In the heart, oakmoss, leather and nagarmotha set an earthy ground, softened slightly by lily of the valley. Vetiver, patchouli and cedar form the woody base, with amber and musk adding warmth. Its profile is close to Fendi Fendi Uomo and Ralph Lauren Polo.
