What does Architect smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen most often for the office, daily wear and leisure. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, and most voters read it as masculine, though quite a few call it modern.

Canadian hemlock, cardamom and lemon open it fresh with a light spice. Cedar, gaiac wood and sequoia form a woody heart. Vetiver, patchouli, tobacco and heather settle into an earthy, smoky sweetness in the base.
