What does Charcoal smell like?

Cade juniper and juniper wood form the backbone, while galbanum adds a sharp green edge and Spanish cistus absolute and Persian elemi bring a resinous warmth. Cedarwood keeps it dry, with spicy and leathery tones staying in the background.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, and few choose summer. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, and while voters read it as mostly masculine, it works as unisex. Memo Paris Irish Leather and Liquides Imaginaires Buveur de Vent have a close profile.
