What does Gris Charnel (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, then winter and spring, while summer comes last. It suits evenings, leisure and daily wear, and it can go to the office too. Voters read it as slightly more feminine, though plenty call it masculine.

It opens with fig, cardamom and black tea: the fig brings fruity sweetness, the cardamom adds spice and the tea a dry edge. In the heart, Bourbon vetiver and orris absolute build a woody, powdery base. Tonka bean absolute and Indian sandalwood finish it in a creamy, sweet warmth.
