What does À Corps Secret smell like?

It opens fresh and spicy with Italian bergamot, Italian mandarin orange and ginger, while cinnamon adds a warm edge. In the heart, jasmine sambac and orange blossom absolute bring a floral layer, sweetened by praliné and Peru balsam. The base of oud, vanilla, patchouli and cistus concrete settles into an earthy, resinous, woody sweetness.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as very strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. With a trail this strong, a light hand tends to balance it better. It reads as unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine.
