What does Coeur du Bois smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with pinyon pine, yuzu and grapefruit zest, while immortelle adds a dry edge. In the heart, oak wood is softened by tuberose, jasmine and ylang-ylang, with clary sage and blackcurrant bud bringing a green touch. The base is dominated by tobacco, leather, labdanum and ambergris, with sandalwood, Virginia cedar and gaiac wood forming the woody floor and French hay adding a sweet warmth. Overall it reads sweet, spicy and leathery, in an oriental vein. Emir Warm Leather and The Different Company Adjatay - Cuir Narcotique have a close profile.
