What does L'Eau d'Épine smell like?

The top pairs Hinoki cypress, galbanum and rose, with galbanum giving a sharp green start. In the heart, incense, rose and labdanum soften the floral side with a resinous, spicy warmth. Vetiver, leather and amber then give the dry-down an earthy, smoky and slightly powdery depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Dsquared² She Wood Velvet Forest Wood and Balenciaga Florabotanica have a close profile.
