What does Comme 3 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and business settings. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, which puts it somewhere in between.

Mandarin orange, cardamom and basil bring the freshness, while guinea pepper and red pepper add a dry warmth. Jasmine sambac and magnolia leaf soften the floral side, and patchouli, Java vetiver, sandalwood and cedar give it a woody, earthy footing.
