What does Inverness smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for the office and evenings. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

The top notes are maté absolute and French orris butter, with the orris bringing the powdery side. The heart of Australian sandalwood and amyris adds a creamy woodiness. The base of Atlas cedar, Texas cedar and gaiac wood leaves a dry, warm wood finish.
