What does Swiss Army Forest smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter chosen far less. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and it also suits the office. Most voters read it as masculine.

The top is lemon's brightness joined to the dry spice of juniper and nutmeg. In the heart, violet leaf, clary sage and cedarwood lay down a woody, slightly green base. At the bottom, cypress, pine and moss carry the scent into an earthy, resinous forest feel.
