What does Bass Solo smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.

Cardamom, lime and ginger give a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, lavender, birch tar and cedar bring a woody dryness. The base of driftwood, amber, sandalwood and patchouli settles warm, resinous and slightly creamy.
