What does Freudian Wood smell like?

It opens with mimosa and ambrette seed. The heart brings together rose, cumin, cypress, costus, lactone and sandalwood, with cumin adding spice and sandalwood a creamy woodiness. In the base, ambergris and labdanum close it with a resinous warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it also works in winter; it is chosen most for leisure and daily wear. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine. Arquiste Peau and Keiko Mecheri Musc have a close profile.
