What does Mineral Cedar smell like?

Bergamot and Provençal lavender give it a clean, aquatic lift. Juniper berry and caraway add a dry, spicy edge, while frankincense brings a resinous depth. Tonka bean absolute sweetens the woods slightly and softens them into something powdery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters point to fall and spring, though all four seasons get a fair share. It leans towards daily and office wear, and masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits comfortably between the two. Nepenthe and Rocca della Signoria have a close profile.
