What does Emeraude Agar smell like?

It opens with bergamot, angelica and black pepper, fresh, green and lightly spicy. Geranium, rose and eucalyptus bring a floral, leafy heart. The base settles into oud, sandalwood and gaiac wood, woody, creamy and resinous.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring; it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out, and also suits business and daily wear. Most call it masculine, though its creamy, floral side softens that.
