What does Un Air de Paris Spicy (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with laurel, orange, nutmeg and basil, giving a fresh, green and spicy start. In the heart, geranium and thyme keep the floral and herbal tones going, with laurel carrying on. The base of birch and castoreum turns the scent smoky, earthy and slightly animalic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the small number of votes makes these figures a rough guide. It reads masculine, and its spicy, woody build suits those who like classic chypre styles. Dorin Dorin d'Or Spicy (Parfum) and Sospiro Vivace have a close profile.
