What does Carven pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling the room. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall, while winter stays in the background. Daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Voters see it as masculine and modern.

It opens with grapefruit, orange blossom and violet leaf, a fresh and green start. In the heart, sage, nutmeg and cedarwood add a spicy, woody touch. Vetiver and sandalwood soften the base and dry it down; the overall impression is fresh with a light sweetness.
