Lear smells just like the wood chips I lined my hamsters cage with as a child. I guess that would be the cedar, but there’s also a very small warm smell of a living thing, like a hamster in there. Not really musk, just a smell of life. Very small life. I would like it on a man, but I don’t know if I like it on me. It also lasts forever, whether you want it to or not.
