What does Sports Car Club smell like?

It opens with Swiss stone pine and pink pepper, while eucalyptus and cypress keep the heart cool. In the base, patchouli, patchoulol, ambroxan and musk tie it together into an earthy, lightly sweet and slightly synthetic woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and leisure and business settings lead. It leans masculine in character but wears as unisex. M. Micallef Royal Vintage and Kerosene Creature have a close profile.
