What does "Hyacinth and a Mechanic" smell like?

Those who rated it find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It sits between masculine and feminine: the floral side is soft, while leather and woody notes answer with something rougher.

Hyacinth and lily of the valley form the floral core, and green notes add a fresh edge to it. Camphor brings coolness, while leather and animalic notes add a dark, oily depth. Musk and woody notes tie it together. Floral and sweet lead the accords, with smoky and leathery tones in the background.
