ResinousWhat does Ponderosa smell like?
Ponderosa pine and cedar build a woody, resinous base, with cinnamon adding spice, butterscotch and vanilla a creamy sweetness, and strawberry a fruity brightness. Fruity and sweet accords lead, while the pine and cedar keep that sweetness inside a woody frame.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes for feminine and masculine character are close.
