What does Beaver (2016) smell like?

It opens with green notes, woody notes and linden blossom alongside an air accord, light and airy. The heart turns aquatic and earthy through aquatic notes, musk and dry woods. In the base, amber, castoreum and vanilla soften things, while leather and dark woods add an animal depth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. It suits leisure and daily wear best, and masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads in between. It has been discontinued. Zoologist Beaver (2014) and Vertus Eau de Cyan have a close profile.
