What does Hellstone smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine share is sizeable, so it sits between the two.

As a whole it reads green, spicy and smoky. Cumin and vetiver set a dry, earthy base, opoponax and beeswax soften it with a sweet, resinous warmth, and ambrette seed leaves an animal trace.
