What does Badlands (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base; the scent reads as one whole. Sandalwood, Palo Santo, juniper wood and dry woods build a woody foundation, with leather and oud adding a smoky edge. Sagebrush and dry grass bring a green, earthy feel, while myrrh and spices round it out with resinous warmth. Meo Fusciuni Last Season and Memo Paris Italian Leather have a close profile.
