What does Carven C'est Paris ! Elixir pour Homme smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated as good, though few people have voted, so these ratings are only an indication. It is positioned as a masculine scent.

The top opens fresh and green with cypress, lemon and rosemary. In the heart, tonka bean and hazelnut sweeten it and add a gourmand softness, while violet leaf absolute brings a powdery, green touch. The base of costus absolute, cedar and benzoin absolute sets down a woody, spicy foundation. Keiko Mecheri Paname and Diptyque Tam Dao (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
