What does Peau smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters spread across all four seasons almost evenly, with fall slightly ahead, and it suits leisure time, daytime and evenings alike. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit close together, so it doesn't lean on either.

The top opens with ambergris, musk and clary sage; in the heart, coriander seed, sargassum and Indian white pepper add a spicy, fresh air. The base of okoumé, labdanum and Ambermax® settles into a resinous, powdery warmth. LesNez L'Antimatière and Montale Amber Musk have a close profile.
