    I so wanted to love this; alas, it makes me smell like an ashtray. Bone dry with a smokey scent on me. I don't get any leather-y smells, just ashes. Really, on me this is total scrubber;...

    I'm so fussy when it comes to perfumes as I frequently get headaches- so certain scents really bother me. But Sycomore has this woody freshness that is seriously lovely. Perfect for summer with...

    Light smoky wood. A great one for summer, but seems a bit simple for Chanel. It doesn't change, it isn't layered and it never reveals or becomes. It goes on light smoky wood and stays that way the...

    This comes on strong but dries down to a soft, sweet, smokey vetiver. I get a slight fresh note from it, which could be the cypress or juniper, and the pepper note is obvious at first but fades to...

    This was what I was hoping Ormonde Jayne Woman would be. Sycomore is as fresh and foreboding as an unexplored evergreen forest. Really, really like this one.

    Sycomore is a soft, woody vetiver which I really do like. It is green and uplifting, a very thoughtful scent. However, I have known Serge Lutens Vetiver Oriental and find this to be a far more...

    Oh how I love this fragrance, but then I love vetiver. If you love vetiver too then you should check this fragrance out. The initial top notes are very unique a smokey vetiver, but later as it...

    Wonderful. It smells like a beautiful tree, with a bit of the dirt it's growing in. However, unlike, say, Un Bois Sepia, it does work as a perfume--it's very wearable. It is simple and...

    Sycomore is another example of Chanel's commitment to luxury and elegance. The opening of Sycomore is one of the most interesting a vetiver fragrance can offer. It smells a bit of chocolate,...

    I have never had very good luck with Chanel fragrances, they are just too darn pungent and heady on me. So I asked the fragrance board for recommendations based on the notes that I generally...

    Oh how I love this! Smokey, earthy vetiver. I have a hard time keeping my hands off my husband when he wears this.

    Whatever hits me on the top here nearly made me ill. I find it to be too harsh. Either the juniper or cypress punched me in the nose. After it dries down a bit I find it to be a nice smoky woods...

    Sycomore is a supremely elegant vetiver fragrance, reportedly based on Vetiveria Zizanoïde, a Haitian varietal that features a smoky and earthy facet in its natural state. The fragrance starts...

    While I am not in love with this, I do think it is quite an interesting illustration of vetiver - slightly smoky, slightly bitter, and with an interesting junipery bottom to it that almost comes...

    I am completely in love with this fragrance. On me, this is a woody, slightly dry-earthy, somewhat sweet scent that melds gorgeously with my skin chemistry. The scent is elegant and refined enough...

    This has the green, resinous scent of a freshly snapped tree branch. It smells like the woods in the rain, a smoky campfire in the distance. It reminds me a lot of Profumum's Olibanum; when I wore...

    Rarely do I try a scent on my skin and think O. . . M. . . G! What was lovely on paper absolutely sings with my chemistry. Sycomore is dark, smoky, green-ish and incredibly sexy. Like burning...

    Dead ringer for Nasomato Absinthe, but Absinthe's more tame cousin. If you love really raunchy, earthy, grab-you-by-the-you-know-what vetyver, Absinthe is the juice for you. The problem with...
