What does R (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the wearer rather than filling a room. The ratings rest on only a handful of votes, so they point to a tendency rather than a firm measure. It reads as masculine.

The notes sit together without a top, heart and base split: spruce needle and rosemary give a green coolness, while cinnamon and carnation add spice. Lavender and fern set the fougère tone, cedarwood and moss supply a woody, earthy floor, and tonka bean softens the dryness slightly.
