What does Burrow smell like?

It opens with turmeric and caraway, spicy and lightly green. In the heart, cedar and date take over: a woody dryness softened by sweetness. In the base, tonka bean and vetiver settle the scent onto a resinous, earthy and faintly smoky ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing into the room. It sits comfortably on men and women alike. The number of voters is small, so these ratings are still tentative.
