Creed Spice & Wood

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on apple, lemon and bergamot, moves through pepper, birch and clove, and settles on cedar, musk and oak moss.

• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
