What does Hayride smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Fall leads by a clear margin, winter follows, and spring comes next, with summer a distant last. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The notes read as one whole: hay, sweetgrass and sweet vernal grass set a green, barn-like ground. Cardamom and nutmeg add spice, while cocoa, vanilla, tonka bean and raisin pull it towards sweetness. Oakmoss and spikenard give an earthy, woody, resinous depth, and bread adds a warm touch.
