WoodyWhat does Pursuit of Happiness smell like?
The scent reads as a single whole from start to finish. Mandarin orange and bergamot give a bright citrus lift, while pineapple leaf and lavender pull it towards green. Cardamom and cinnamon add a spicy warmth, cedar and sandalwood form the woody ground, and amber softens the overall impression. There is a synthetic edge among the accords; the fresh and green side leads, with spice and wood staying in the background.
