What does Balenciaga pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of Italian bergamot, thyme, Ceylonese cinnamon and coriander give a green, spicy opening. In the heart, cypress, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli build a woody core. The base of Yugoslavian oakmoss, musk, Bourbon vanilla and amber sweetens it and pulls it toward a powdery, earthy, leathery warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. Voters mostly call it masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Jacques Bogart Furyo.
