What does Homo Sapiens smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is not a firm verdict. As a unisex scent, it carries no strictly masculine or feminine character.

The top notes of jamarosa and Gengri grass give a fresh, green opening. In the heart, cistus, turmeric, ylang-ylang, coriander, tuberose and Chinese ginger bring floral and spicy tones together. The base of nagarmotha, Palo Santo, dacrydium and Himalayan cedar sets a woody, resinous and earthy ground. Byredo De Los Santos and Lost Tribe Gotham have a close profile.
