What does Desolation Peak smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean towards reading it as masculine, though a fair share call it feminine. Summer is the least chosen season; in the evening and on a night out it feels both comfortable and clearly present.

It smells like a forest: pine needle, black spruce and Himalayan cedar build a woody, resinous ground, with citrus and green freshness over it. Oakmoss and Bourbon vetiver add an earthy depth, while Lapsang Souchong tea and pine tar bring smoke. Black pepper and pimento add spicy warmth. Close in profile are N•O•A•M Kayu Kretek and Evody Ombre Fumée.
