What does L'Original / Façonnable (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of rosemary, peppermint and mandarin orange make it fresh and citrusy at first. Lavender, geranium and nutmeg bring a floral, lightly spicy middle, and sandalwood, cedar and oakmoss then ground it in a woody, green base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with fall not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads masculine and classic. Chanel Platinum Égoïste and Carolina Herrera Herrera for Men have a close profile.
