What does La Botte smell like?

Jasmine absolute opens it, and the heart holds civettone and violet. A green, fruity, lightly sweet freshness circles the floral core, with spicy and powdery touches in between. The base of suede and mahogany wood settles it into a creamy, leathery, woody ground, with a faint animal trace in the background.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. With so few votes, these ratings are only a rough indication. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine. Its profile is close to CH Men Eau de Toilette and Laboratorio Olfattivo Nirmal.
