What does Barry Lyndon smell like?

Herbs open it, and the heart of artemisia, heather and arnica keeps it green and dry. In the base, Haitian vetiver and leather build a woody, resinous footing, while Bourbon vanilla softens the edges slightly.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Fall and spring lead the season votes, and leisure, daily wear and business come first among occasions. Most voters find it masculine, with some reading it as classic. Eloge du Traître and masculin Pluriel have a close profile.
