What does Molécule No. 8 - Wooden Chips smell like?

Mandarin orange gives a bright, fruity opening, and Turkish rose absolute adds a soft floral heart. In the base, oud and Indian patchouli bring woody, earthy depth. Sweet and spicy touches sit behind this blend, along with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters lean towards fall and spring, and towards leisure and daily wear. It reads somewhat more masculine than feminine, though the feminine share is sizeable. Ralph Lauren Big Pony Collection - 4 and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Oud Yuzu have a close profile.
