What does Orris Forrest smell like?

Pinyon pine and juniper give it a cool, forest-like freshness, while oakmoss and patchouli pull that mood down to the earth. Indian black pepper and coriander add a spicy edge, and orris butter, coumarin and sweet acacia lay a powdery, lightly sweet softness over the green.

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. With its woody, resinous and green character, it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine.
