What does Dear Lord smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits close to the skin and leaves a measured trail, and it reads neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine.

The scent comes across as a single piece: bergamot brings a bright citrus lift, while lavender adds a green, slightly spicy freshness. Sandalwood, cashmere wood, Palo Santo and papyrus build a woody frame, and vanilla softens it a little. The fresh, citrus, green and woody accords lead.
