What does Juniper Sling smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. It sits closest to leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though it reads as unisex too.

It opens with juniper berry, cinnamon, angelica and orange brandy, carrying a citrus and green freshness. The heart of black pepper, cardamom, leather and iris turns dry and spicy. In the base, vetiver, ambrox, black cherry and brown sugar form a woody floor and sweeten it slightly.
