What does Mauvais Garçon (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
The top opens spicy with nutmeg, Ceylonese cinnamon, basil, bergamot and elemi resin. In the heart, white blossoms, artemisia and lavender add a floral, powdery softness. In the base, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten the scent, while Virginia cedar, Indonesian patchouli and sandalwood build a woody foundation.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, though daily and office wear also get votes. It reads mainly masculine, but a good share of voters find it feminine. Eisenberg J'Ose and Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto have a close profile.
