Monsieur Carven (Eau de Toilette)

The opening is bright and aldehydic, with neroli, tarragon, bergamot and lemon. In the heart, carnation, patchouli and vetiver lead, with jasmine and rose adding florals and cinnamon the spice. The base of labdanum, oakmoss and leather settles into a leathery, earthy, resinous ground, and the whole reads powdery and woody.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, and it is chosen most often for evenings and daily wear. It reads masculine. Arrogance Arrogance pour Homme and Ralph Lauren Safari for Men have a close profile.
