What does C'i'aan smell like?

Most voters place C'i'aan in spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It is picked mainly for leisure and the office, less often for nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind those scores. It reads as suited to men and women alike, at a moderate strength.

Spearmint, green apple, juniper and fir needle give it a cool, resinous greenness, and the apple adds a fruity sweetness. Cedar and amber soften this with a warm, woody, slightly spicy edge.
