What does Bowhanti smell like?

Bowhanti's longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits daily wear, leisure, the office and evenings about equally. It is classed as feminine, though voters read it as both feminine and masculine.

The top notes of carrot seed, juniper and galbanum give a green, slightly earthy start. In the heart, freesia adds a soft floral touch while cinnamon brings spice. Frankincense, Peru balsam and patchouli then settle it into a resinous, sweet and smoky base.
