What does Coastal Salty Forest smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus freshness from lemon and bergamot. In the heart, cypress and eucalyptus add a cool, green feel, while patchouli and tonka bean in the base settle it onto an earthy, woody footing, with a hint of spice and a synthetic sheen running through.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It reads mainly masculine. Tuttotondo Golf and Giardini di Toscana Blu Mare have a close profile.
