What does III: L'Heure Vertueuse smell like?

Lavender and lentisk carry the herbal feel through, while absinth and almond add a light sweetness and a resinous depth. The floral and spicy sides stay in the background over a woody, earthy base that steadies the whole.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear are the favoured settings. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Santa Maria Novella Pot Pourri and Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Thyme & Lavender have a close profile.
