What does Empty Wishes Well smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter trailing behind. It reads as modern and easy to wear through the day, sitting neither clearly masculine nor feminine.
The top is metal and rust, giving a cool, mineral edge. In the heart, myrrh, sage, leaves and petrichor build a green, damp-earth feel. The base is dominated by soil, galbanum and two vetivers, with amyris and patchouli adding a woody floor. Overall it comes across as fresh, green, slightly smoky and spicy.
