What does Eau du Gouverneur / L'Homme smell like?

It opens with vervain, lemon and bergamot, a bright and green start. In the heart, pimento, nutmeg, pepper and clove add spicy warmth, while clary sage softens it. The base of Java vetiver, musk, Atlas cedar and tonka bean settles it into a balanced, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. Its profile is close to Victor Victor Original (Eau de Toilette) and Acqua di Parma Colonia C.L.U.B.
