ResinousWhat does Bravo Monsieur smell like?
It opens with cardamom, grapefruit, frankincense and violet, then moves to a heart of lavender, iris, papyrus and geranium that reads floral and green. The base of musk, cashmere wood and vanilla settles into a creamy, sweet footing, with sandalwood rounding out the woody side.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads as masculine. Bon Parfumeur 302 Ambre Iris Santal and Gucci The Virgin Violet have a close profile.
