What does Sulawesi smell like?

Indonesian clove and Indonesian nutmeg give the spice, while Virginia cedar and Texas cedar build a woody frame. Java vetiver and Indonesian patchouli deepen the green, earthy side, and Sumatran benzoin absolute adds a soft, resinous, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it suits leisure and daily wear best, and gets votes for evening and office too. It leans slightly masculine but reads as unisex. Légendes du Cèdre and Log Cabin have a close profile.
