What does Betula smell like?

It opens cool and citrusy, with green notes, bergamot, birch leaf and citron. The heart adds a soft floral touch through cedar leaf, water jasmine, rose and oak wood absolute. The base is woody and slightly spicy, built on vetiver, birch tar and cedarwood, softened by musk and amber.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex scent too. Creed Royal Mayfair and Etro Via Verri have a close profile.
