What does Fireside Intense smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, while spring and summer get far fewer votes. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, so it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around you. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine.

Oakmoss, cade juniper, leather, birch tar and oud come forward. Nagarmotha and castoreum add an earthy, animal depth; Himalayan cedar and gaiac wood sharpen the woody, spicy side, while Indian sandalwood and ambergris lend a resinous softness.
