What does Plein Jeu III-V smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads comfortably either way.

It opens with lemon and ginger brightness sharpened by black pepper, softened by mimosa. In the heart, jasmine, amber and incense resin bring a sweet, floral, lightly smoky feel. Cedarwood, vetiver and sandalwood form the woody backbone underneath. Lush Breath of God and Boucheron Santal de Kandy have a close profile.
