What does Violet Cendré smell like?

It opens on rose, and in the heart jasmine and iris keep the floral side soft and powdery, while lavender and smoke add a green, smoky edge. In the base, amber, leather, tonka bean and frankincense settle the scent onto a woody, spicy footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes the picture is tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably on either skin. Serge Lutens Gris clair... (2006) and Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons 2 have a close profile.
