Scent description (editorial impression)
Wearers describe conifer woods and pine resin with a softer vanilla accent. Strawberry is divisive: some find ripe fruit among damp woods, while others describe a separate, candied note.
Drawn from 8 independent reports, all from a single venue, and fewer than our usual minimum of 10 reports. The evidence is limited; our usual minimum is ten reports across two venues.
