What does Dry Wood smell like?

Lemon and grapefruit give it a bright citrus start, while basil and spices add green and spicy edges. Jasmine and lilac bring a floral touch, and oakmoss, patchouli and dry woods form a woody, earthy, slightly smoky backbone. Tonka bean and musk soften that dry core.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine. Autumn and spring lead the season votes, with summer and winter not far behind, and daily wear, business and leisure are the favoured occasions. Halston Z-14 and Nishane Hacivat have a close profile.
