What does Katabatic smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and less towards daily or office use. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't pull firmly either way. It has been discontinued.

The notes read as one piece: the cool green of spruce, fir and cypress is joined by camphor and spearmint. Black pepper, clove, cinnamon and star anise add spicy warmth, while amaretto keeps the sweetness soft. Sandalwood, cedarwood and oakmoss set the woody base.
