What does Tartan Cask smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though few votes back this up. It is not tied to either gender, and its smoky, leathery build suits cooler weather.

Smoke, peaty whisky and leather lead, with cedar and false sandalwood forming a woody base. Tobacco and labdanum add a resinous warmth, while moss and heather bring an earthy, green touch. Bread and hop soften the dark texture. Spicy and chypre accords round out the character. Sarah Baker Perfumes Tartan and Pineward Funerie have a close profile.
