What does Sauvage Eau Forte smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind and winter further back. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often, and it is seen as masculine and modern.

The scent is fresh and spicy overall. Star anise, cardamom and pepper add a warm bite, white lavender and elemi resin keep it bright, and musky and woody notes soften it. There is a sweet streak and a slightly synthetic sheen too. Marc Jacobs Bang Bang and Rituals L'Essentiel have a close profile.
