What does L'Or de Louis smell like?

It starts bright and floral with bergamot, pomegranate, French jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute. In the heart, honey, cedarwood, musk and Florentine iris sweeten it and give it a powdery softness. The base of amber, cade juniper and wood smoke leaves a resinous, smoky trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of votes say so. Its spicy, woody, smoky build sits comfortably on men and women alike.
