What does Snuff (1977) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and also suits the office. Many voters call it masculine and classic.

The opening is fresh, with green notes, fruity notes, lavender and bergamot. The heart builds a woody, floral body from patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and geranium. Myrrh, oakmoss, leather and amber dominate the base, while vanilla softens it slightly. Elsa Schiaparelli Snuff (Eau de Cologne) and Aramis Havana have a close profile.
