What does Birch in Acacia smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant last. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though daytime and business get votes too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin.

The notes read as a single whole rather than in stages: birch and gaiac wood give a smoky woodiness with leather alongside, frankincense adds a resinous depth and cardamom brings spice. Haitian vetiver and Australian sandalwood lay a dry, green base, and tonka bean absolute softens the edges a little.
