What does Berkana smell like?

It opens on sweet vernal grass, then moves into a heart of leather, birch tar and styrax. Spicy and animal accords roughen that heart and add a smoky, earthy edge. Cedar and vetiver dry it down into a woody base.

Longevity is rated good, while sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it suits leisure and daily wear. Though unisex, more voters read it as masculine and classic. It has been discontinued. Initio Divine Attraction and Jovoy Private Label have a close profile.
