What does Snowy Owl smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, winter and autumn, while summer comes well behind. It is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, and votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

The opening brings mint, lily of the valley, coconut and snow, and the heart turns green and floral with galbanum, frankincense and iris. In the base, cedar, oakmoss, civet and vanilla give it an earthy, faintly animal and soft finish.
