What does Cavale (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with lemon vervain, citrus fruits, green notes and vetiver, sharp and fresh at first. In the heart, herbs and patchouli pull the green toward the earth, and the base of oakmoss and leather dries down woody and leathery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though many call it classic. Guy Laroche Eau Folle and Guerlain Coriolan have a close profile.
