What does holy_wood smell like?

Jasmine sambac, rose and Bulgarian rose shape the floral side, while sandalwood and Clearwood™ give it a woody base. Suede adds a soft leather note and pink pepper a light spice. The notes read as one piece rather than in layers, and the overall feel stays fresh with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated good, and so is sillage. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. Jennifer Lopez One and Montale Pure Love have a close profile.
