What does Laurel Canyon, 1966 smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, orange and terpenes, which read as a sharp, fresh citrus. In the heart, clove, petitgrain, Italian cannabis and jasmine sambac bring a floral, spicy and green mix. The base of ambergris, patchouli and birch tar settles it onto a woody, earthy footing.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays close to the skin but remains noticeable through the day. The number of votes is small, so this is best read with caution. There are no season or occasion votes, but the fresh citrus over an earthy base sits comfortably on both men and women.
