What does Chasing Autumn (Parfum) smell like?

Taken as a whole it reads woody and resinous: Atlas cedar, Nootka cypress and vetiver build a dry frame, while Siberian fir needle adds a sharp, forest-like air. Birch tar and leather draw a smoky, animalic edge; coffee and nutmeg bring spicy warmth, and amber a resinous softness. Earthy nagarmotha sits underneath it all.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. In the votes the masculine reading comes out ahead, though it stays unisex. Gucci Guilty Absolute pour Homme and Scent on Canvas Noir de Mars have a close profile.
