What does L'Autre smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer and winter further behind. It is mostly worn for leisure and daytime, and it reads more masculine than feminine, though it works as a unisex scent.

Cumin, clary sage, nutmeg and caraway keep the whole composition dry and warm. A citrus accord lightens it, while resinous and earthy tones give the woody base some weight. Victorinox Swiss Army Forest and Anfas Sakan have a close profile.
