What does 601 - Amber & Gaiacwood smell like?

Cedarwood comes first, and in the heart sandalwood and gaiac wood set the woody ground. Amber and vanilla sweeten the base and add a creamy softness. The fresh and spicy touches stay in the background, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It suits daily wear as well as work and evenings, and voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex.
