What does Boreal smell like?

Mint, pine needle and cedar build a crisp, sharp woodland feel, while resins and moss pull it towards earth and spice. It stays green and woody throughout, with almost no sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and everyday wear. More voters read it as masculine, though a good share call it feminine. Pineward Bindebole and Profumum Roma Thundra have a close profile.
