What does Far from the Madding Crowd smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few voters have weighed in. With no gender lean, it sits comfortably on either men or women.

Citrus and green accords lead, while plum and blackcurrant add a fruity sweetness. Jasmine and heliotrope bring a soft floral touch, and eucalyptus and myrtle keep it fresh. Oakmoss, cedar, musk and castoreum form a woody, lightly spicy base. Armaf Venetian and Bond No. 9 Soho have a close profile.
