What does Cities in Dust (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?
Mushrooms, soil and moss give it a green, humid woodland feel. Aged wood and smoke add a dry, lightly charred depth, while bitter almond brings a sweet, powdery softness. Fresh and spicy touches run through the accords, along with a slightly synthetic note.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Its earthy character sits comfortably on any skin. Foras Mushroom Forest and Demeter Fragrance Library Zombie for Him have a close profile.
