What does Violon Basse 16 smell like?

Violon Basse 16 has strong longevity and good sillage. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, spring follows behind, and summer is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and is also picked for nights out. Most voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.

The top notes list amber, sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla, with labdanum and vetiver adding to that warm, resinous base. The heart brings cistus, fir balsam, iris and smoke, giving it a green, smoky and earthy air. Lavender, juniper, cedarwood and frankincense round out the spicy, woody tone. Ambrosivs and Berserker have a close profile.
