What does Le Serval (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. With its unisex build and dense character, it suits cooler weather and dressed-up evenings best.
It opens with blackcurrant bud, bergamot and neroli, which give a green, citrusy brightness. Toward the heart, rose, geranium and ginger add a floral, spicy warmth. The base settles into oakmoss, oud, civet and musk, woody, resinous, earthy and smoky in tone. Sweet and leathery touches soften the dense structure.
