What does Charlatan smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards nights out and evenings, and rarely suits the office. Voters read it as somewhat more feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.
The top opens with pear and chocolate, a fruity sweetness. In the heart, Damask rose, Moroccan jasmine and black truffle form a floral body while vanilla keeps it sweet. The base of sandalwood, amber and osmanthus leaves a woody, smoky, spicy warmth.
