What does Humus smell like?

Humus opens with ginger, bergamot and cypress, and its heart holds rum, rose, oud and geosmin. Leather, patchouli root, ambergris and oakmoss form the base. The fresh, green start gradually gives way to a woody, resinous, leathery earthiness, with spicy and floral touches staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind, and leisure, evening and night out lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as balanced between the two.
