FougèreWhat does Great Jones smell like?
It opens with a bright citrus lift from bergamot and orange. Cedar and cardamom bring a dry, spicy woodiness to the heart. Musk, oakmoss and vetiver settle the base into a green, earthy line, with a slightly synthetic edge running through the accords.
Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and lean towards daily and leisure wear, then the office. Most voters read it as masculine. Cartier Déclaration and Durance en Provence Zeste de Vétiver have a close profile.
