What does Couleur Fauve smell like?

The first impression is bright and sharp, with the peppers and bergamot leading. The heart turns resinous and earthy through amber, patchouli and labdanum. In the base, musk, vanilla and benzoin soften the sweetness, while castoreum and ambergris add an animal, faintly smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it reads comfortably on either.
