What does Vierges et Toreros smell like?

It opens with bergamot, pepper and cardamom, a bright citrus edge sharpened by spice. Ylang-ylang and tuberose make up the floral, sweet heart. Vetiver, leather and patchouli sit underneath, leaving a woody, leathery, slightly animal trail with a synthetic tone running through it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter, and leisure and evening wear lead, with night out close behind. Though unisex, more voters read it as masculine than feminine.
