The Trained Nose

Guerlain

Bois d'Armenie

What it is made of, at the heart of a wearing — and the colour this page is tinted with. Wider means more of it.

Leads bright spice and herbs, over incense and musk underneath. It turns over the day rather than fading, and it outlasts most of the catalogue. It carries more musk than the rest of the catalogue.

Consensus needs more than one owner. Right now no one has this linked, so there is nothing to agree or disagree about yet.

No original is recorded for this entry. Two kinds of evidence, and they disagree in useful ways.
Closest, as Akin sees it
Ranked by what the crowd says resembles what, with the measured accords breaking ties — falling back to the note pyramid where neither has anything to say. Right about half the time, and the column says which of the three answered.
