What does Dear John (Perfume) smell like?

Dear John wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage, and most voters pick it for daytime, leisure and the office. Seasons are evenly split, with spring slightly ahead of fall, winter and summer. The largest share of voters call it masculine, though it reads as unisex.

Pine, lime and coriander give it a fresh, green air. Clove adds spice, while coffee and vetiver pull it towards a smoky, earthy tone. Cedarwood gives the whole a woody, resinous backbone.
