What does Rhizome 02 smell like?

Most voters point to fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant fourth. It leans towards leisure, night-out and evening wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Voters lean slightly masculine, though a good share call it feminine. Slumberhouse Jeke and Atelier des Ors Larmes du Désert have a close profile.

It opens with vetiver, gaiac wood, cedarwood and reed, a dry woody base layer. In the heart, benzoin, patchouli and papyrus bring out sweetness and earth. The base of vanilla, leathery notes and labdanum softens everything and finishes resinous and leathery.
