What does Desired Earth smell like?

The green freshness of violet leaf and shiso leaf leads at first, softened by ambrette. In the heart, immortelle, single malt whisky and black pepper add a spicy, faintly sweet depth. The base of tolu balm, patchouli and cade juniper wood settles it onto a resinous, woody, earthy ground.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and leisure and evening wear come up most often. Votes split fairly evenly between masculine and feminine readings, so it sits comfortably between the two. WienerBlut Panasch and Bibi Bigler Cembra have a close profile.
