What does Rhizome 01 smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. More voters read it as masculine, but a fair number find it feminine.

Cumin, cinnamon and nutmeg lead with spice, while galbanum adds a fresh, green edge. At the heart, labdanum, geranium and frankincense resin bring a sweet, smoky warmth. The base of vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood is woody, with a faintly animal trace. Its profile is close to Amouage Overture Man and Amouage Enclave.
