What does Legno di Guajaco e Pepe Nero smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift of bergamot, orange, neroli and mandarin orange. The heart turns spicy and herbal with black pepper, cardamom and sage, softened by lavender and tarragon. The base carries the smoky woody line through gaiac wood, tobacco and cedarwood, while tonka bean and coumarin add sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure wear, and it also works in the office. It reads masculine and classic. Tesori d'Oriente Legno di Guajaco and Amouage Journey Man have a close profile.
