What does Eaux de Caron Pure smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, mandarin orange and cardamom, and passion fruit softens that freshness a little. The heart is floral, built on cyclamen, jasmine and freesia, with geranium and nutmeg adding a touch of spice. In the base, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar, amber and musk settle the chypre structure onto a warm, woody footing. Overall it reads clean, slightly green and dry. Penhaligon's Quercus and Sisley Eau de Sisley 2 have a close profile.
