What does Acier Aluminium smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage is moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, while fewer choose it for the office. More voters call it masculine, but a good share read it as feminine, so its character sits between the two.

Bergamot gives a fresh, citrusy opening. The heart holds spices and fruits, adding a spicy, fruity side. In the base, vanilla and ambergris leave a sweet, powdery and slightly animalic trace. Floral and woody tones stay in the background. Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street and Calvin Klein CK Be have a close profile.
