What does Mountain Woody Forest smell like?

It starts fresh and green, with the spicy notes following right behind. In the heart, juniper and frankincense add a resinous, faintly smoky air. The base settles on precious woods, leather and gaiac wood, so the scent stays woody and leathery.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean towards daily and leisure wear, with business and evening also getting votes. Its value for money is rated highly. Pierre Guillaume 11.2 Spicematic and Armand Basi Wild Forest have a close profile.
