What does Bois d'Ombrie smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Most read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with carrot, calamus and cognac, and the heart holds leather, iris and copaiba balsam. The base is vetiver, patchouli, tobacco and opoponax. A green, spicy start settles into an earthy, resinous, leathery woodiness. Jovoy Private Label and Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu have a close profile.
