What does Petrichor / The Garden Collection - Petrichor smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin and suits everyday wear. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.

It starts with a cool note of damp soil and lemon. In the heart, the spicy dryness of immortelle, the woody feel of vetiver and the powdery softness of iris come together. The base of musk, sandalwood, moss and ambergris leaves a clean, aquatic floor.
