What does Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes / Philippine Houseboy smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes split fairly evenly between spring, fall and summer, with spring slightly ahead. It sits closer to leisure and daily wear, and voters are almost evenly divided between calling it feminine and masculine.
The top opens with lemon's tartness alongside the spicy edge of ginger and coriander. In the heart, rice and jasmine add a creamy, powdery softness, while cardamom keeps the spice going. The base of tonka bean and amber sweetens it, with leather leaving a dry trace behind. The overall feel is fresh, green and lightly gourmand.
