What does L'Ébène smell like?

The scent rests on three notes: coconut, ebony and cedarwood. Coconut carries the fruity, sweet side, while ebony and cedarwood build a woody, earthy base. Spicy and resinous tones deepen that base without making it heavy, and the green and aquatic accords keep it from turning sugary.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most often for leisure, followed by evening and daily wear, with fewer votes for business and sport. Zara Into the Wood - Number 1: Nobody Knows and Jean-Paul Grand Fruity Fragrances - Coconut have a close profile.
