What does L'Eau de Merzhin smell like?

That sharp green start softens in the heart into sweet acacia, hawthorn and sweet vernal grass. The base of green hay, tonka bean, moss and iris turns sweeter and settles into a powdery, earthy warmth with a faint animal edge, while the spicy and woody tones stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daily use. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads as truly unisex. Karl Lagerfeld Karleidoscope and Balmain Ivoire (2012) have a close profile.
