What does Philtre Ceylan smell like?

The top is Calabrian bergamot, spearmint and Guatemala cardamom, so it opens crisp, citrusy and lightly spiced. In the heart, Ceylon tea and Chinese iris add a soft floral-green note, and Paraguayan gaiac wood and Indian papyrus leave a dry, woody base.

Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Atelier Cologne Bois Blonds and Roger & Gallet Feuille de Thé / Thé Fantaisie have a close profile.
