What does Ciel Man smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter getting the fewest votes. It leans towards daily, leisure and business wear, with evening and night out further back. Most voters find it masculine, while some call it classic or modern.

The opening is fresh with lavender and bergamot, while rose and lily of the valley add a floral side. In the heart, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom bring spice, and jasmine and peach soften it with sweetness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and frankincense leaves a woody, slightly oriental trail.
