What does Bossa Wood smell like?

It opens with plum, peach, clove, cinnamon and cardamom, pairing fruity sweetness with spice. In the heart, Turkish rose, carrot seed and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral note. It dries down to cedar, sandalwood, patchouli and white musk, leaving a woody, powdery, creamy base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few voters have rated it, so treat that loosely. Its sweet, oriental build suits those who like perfume in cooler weather. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere between.
