Woodland Moss

Smells to me of fruity (probably plummy), definitely leathery tobacco, and it slightly surprises me that neither tobacco nor labdanum is listed in the notes/accords. On paper or a hankie, it's quite powdery and reminds me of rooty licorice, which leads me to think the angelica must be a big player in the tobacco effect. The fragrance has a slight underlying menthol-like or camphoraceous facet that I presume comes from the patchouli, although the sweetness of the sandalwood is likewise noticeable in the base. I would say that this is somewhere near classically masculine. It's analogous to any number of old-school masculine fragrances such as the original green Jaguar but it's certainly much subtler and classier than the Jaguar at least. It smells very, very good. It projects quite nicely but I think that it is one to spray partly on clothes for a longevity boost. I might wear it mainly on autumn days but also spring days, and it is just about strong enough to be used in the winter as a toned-down alternative to, say, the original Polo green.
