What does Tartan smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated as good, though with only a few votes these ratings are tentative. It leans neither masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably as a unisex fragrance.

Leather, tobacco and Virginia cedar form the backbone, with a green, earthy air around them. Bread and hop add a warm, gourmand note, while jasmine tea and tree moss soften the woody texture. Labdanum brings a resinous depth. Sarah Baker Perfumes Tartan Cask and Murdock Bright Leaf have a close profile.
