What does Braries smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, while evening and office use fit it too.

It opens with the dry warmth of pink pepper and black pepper. In the heart, vetiver, tonka bean and Indonesian patchouli build a woody, earthy base, and in the dry base benzoin, Ceylonese tobacco and musk make it resinous, smoky and soft. Tom Ford Oud Wood and Amouage Honour Man have a close profile.
