What does Bonheur smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. Its unisex profile suits both men and women.

It opens with cardamom, bergamot and tagetes, a fresh, spicy start, while frangipani and champaca soften the floral side. In the heart, oakmoss, violet, clove and vetiver add an earthy depth. It dries down into cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean and labdanum, woody, sweet and resinous.
