What does Wood Noir smell like?

It reads as one whole: bergamot brings a citrus freshness that joins the lavender, sage adds a green, spicy edge, and woods form a dry base underneath. It has a floral, slightly sweet side too, with a resinous touch staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows closely, and very few choose summer. Evening, daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, with business and night out also getting votes. Zara Zara Man Green Savage and Jack&Jones Wild Grass have a close profile.
