What does 20 L'Eau Guerrière smell like?

The chinchona bark gives an cool, green, citrus-tinged start. In the heart, frankincense and oud form a resinous, earthy, woody core, with a little spice and smoke alongside. Animalic musk in the base softens that dry edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads more masculine to most voters, though a fair share call it feminine. Enter the Cobra by The Dua Brand and House of Orpheus 93 have a close profile.
