What does Le Gant smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Voters pick it mostly for leisure, nights out and evenings, with business and daytime wear trailing behind.

It opens with bergamot and naked lady, then mimosa and heliotrope bring a floral, powdery softness to the heart. In the base, amber, cotton, açaí and Tuscan leather balance the sweetness with leathery, animal tones, while synthetic and spicy accords round out the character. Byredo Animalique and Calaj Evy have a close profile.
