What does Fès - Jardin d'épices smell like?

The spices lead: cinnamon, cardamom and ginger give a warm, lightly sweet feel, while lime lifts it. Cedar, cashmere wood and patchouli form a woody, slightly resinous base. Fresh and green touches keep the sweetness from turning heavy.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter, and leisure and daily wear come first among occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though a good number find it feminine. Puig Quorum Silver and Birkholz Berlin Fever have a close profile.
