What does Tyrannosaurus Rex smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated very strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine, though it is unisex.

The top notes bring fir, black pepper, neroli and nutmeg. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang and osmanthus form a floral layer. The base carries cade juniper, leather, frankincense and resins, with an animal, earthy edge. Bogue LiTA and Nimerè Shades of Darkness have a close profile.
