What does Ma Bête smell like?

It opens with aldehydes, Indian nutmeg and Tunisian neroli. In the heart, Honduras styrax, nagarmotha and Indian jasmine sambac form a resinous, earthy floral core. The base of Virginia cedar, animalic notes and Indonesian patchouli leaves a woody, powdery warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is mostly worn in the evening or on a night out. Voters read it as slightly more feminine, though it stays unisex. Malbrum Shameless Seducer and Diptyque Oud Palao have a close profile.
