What does Sacred Green Forest smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is seen mostly as a leisure or daily scent. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though a fair share find it classic or modern.

The opening is fresh, green and a little smoky, while orange blossom, jasmine, galbanum and ylang-ylang give the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, moss, woods and vanilla settle it into something woody and lightly sweet. Serge Lutens Encens et lavande and Marc Cain Mysteriously No.3 have a close profile.
