What does [⁶C] Carbon smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits between the two. It has been discontinued.

Sandalwood and resins give it a warm, woody frame, while cardamom, black pepper and ginger add a dry, peppery bite. Iris and pepper blossom soften that edge, and herbs bring an earthy note. The result is a smoky, sweet-leaning oriental wood.
