What does El Dorado smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage weak, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. There is no information on season or occasion, but its fresh, green build suits light, everyday wear.

It opens with lemon balm, juniper and petrichor, which give a cool, damp-earth freshness. In the heart, rosemary, cypress and cistus add a resinous, green edge. The base of vetiver, fir and gaiac wood settles into a woody, slightly smoky ground. Chanel Sycomore and Comme des Garçons Wonderwood have a close profile.
