What does Acteur (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet also suits daily and business wear. Half of voters call it masculine and a third call it classic. It has been discontinued.

It opens with calamus, bergamot and cardamom, fresh, green and spicy. In the heart, jasmine and rose add floral softness while cedarwood and caraway keep a woody line. The base of leather, oakmoss, amber and musk dries down warm, resinous and leathery.
