What does Après smell like?

It opens with cardamom, juniper berry and saffron; in the heart, gaiac wood, suede, labdanum, violet, praliné and bourbon whiskey blend together. Cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla and musk form the base, settling the sweetness onto a woody, resinous ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring well behind. It suits evenings and daily wear, and leans somewhat masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Fragrances with a close profile include J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6·9 and Boadicea the Victorious Rebellious.
