What does Gambling smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is worn mostly for evenings, leisure and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, but it wears fine as a unisex scent.

The top opens with coffee, Sichuan pepper, bergamot and peaty whisky. In the heart, cypress, elemi resin and galbanum give it a green, resinous feel. The base rests on vetiver, benzoin and cedarwood. Coreterno Hierba Nera and Laboratorio Olfattivo Sacreste have a close profile.
