Tears on Asphalt

Fresh · Citrus · Green
Michael Sailstorfer Tears on Asphalt is a unisex scent that sets a sharp opening of lemon, pink pepper and cardamom against the cool, smoky depth of asphalt, black tea and moss.
The top holds lemon, grapefruit, pink pepper, cardamom and rosemary, so citrus and spice come first. In the heart, asphalt, black tea and freesia give it a green, synthetic, faintly smoky feel. It dries down on moss, ambergris, cistus, vetiver and cedar, with the leathery, woody side staying in the background.
Most voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Autumn and winter lead, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though it stays unisex. Strangers Parfumerie Lumberjack Cologne and Giorgio Armani Eau de Cèdre have a close profile.
