What does Roots of Earth smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Reviews rest on a small sample, so take the impression as tentative. It reads masculine.

Citrus and green accords lead, with the grass giving a fresh-cut, leafy feel. The heart turns spicy and sharp through Indian bay leaf, black pepper, ginger and bay rum. The base is woody, resinous and slightly animal, built on vetiver, cedar, tobacco, labdanum and spikenard. Amouage Figment Man and Prin Kheerin / คีรินทร์ have a close profile.
