What does Subversif (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Votes are few, but most point to nights out, evenings and daily wear, with office and leisure use further behind. It does not lean toward a masculine or feminine side.

The top opens with Calabrian lemon, black fig and bergamot, bright and fruity. In the heart, Haitian vetiver, praliné and Java patchouli lead, with white cedar giving it a woody frame. In the base, leather, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten and soften it, while musk and amber add a resinous warmth. Mercedes-Benz Club Extreme and Masque III-IV Tango have a close profile.
