Horseback
7.7Laurent Smal · 2023
Citrus · Floral · Green
Laurent Smal Horseback is a unisex scent that leans spicy, woody and resinous, with leathery and smoky touches that give it an earthy, rugged feel.
It reads as a single whole rather than a progression: sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli build an earthy, woody base, while saffron, black pepper and pink pepper bring the spice. Grapefruit adds a flash of citrus brightness and iris a powdery softness. Labdanum warms it with resin and ambergris deepens it.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are still tentative. It suits anyone who likes dark, spicy fragrances, on either men or women.
