WoodyWhat does Steel Grey smell like?
It opens with lemon, grapefruit and bergamot for a fresh citrus feel, while black pepper adds a sharp spicy edge. In the heart, lavender, cardamom and cypress make the scent drier and more aromatic. The base of vanilla, cedarwood, musk and sandalwood sweetens it and settles it on a powdery, woody footing. Floral and fruity touches stay in the background.
