What does Forêt de Petrichor smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Voters place it mostly in leisure and business wear, followed by daily use and evenings. It sits comfortably on either men or women rather than leaning to one side.

Violet leaf, angelica seed and frankincense lead the top, while rose, jasmine and cucumber water give the heart a cool floral feel. The base settles on orris root, vetiver, patchouli and mitti attar, giving it a woody, earthy footing. Benzoin and ambergris sweeten that base slightly. It has a close profile to Balmain Ivoire and Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena.
