EarthyWhat does South Slope / Blue Ridge smell like?
The top is blackcurrant, Italian mandarin orange and lemon, bright and lightly sweet. In the heart, ozonic notes, cedar leaf and Provençal lavender give it a fougère feel. The base of patchouli, leather and sandalwood settles into something earthy and woody.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. The fresh accord leads, so it wears easily in warm weather and everyday settings, while the leathery base keeps it from being a plain fresh scent. Eight & Bob Egypt and Kinetic Perfumes Insomnia have a close note and accord profile.
