What does Undergrowth (2020) smell like?

It opens with grass, soil and spearmint. In the heart, green notes, iris and mandarin orange add a fresh, lightly powdery lift. As it dries, vetiver, patchouli and white musk settle it onto a woody, earthy base, with a spicy tone staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. It is voted most for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is a unisex scent. Louis Vuitton Orage and Rook Perfumes Undergrowth (2018) have a close profile.
