What does L'Aventurier smell like?

It opens bright, with lemon's zest sharpened by a little pink pepper. The heart of patchouli and amber adds a sweet, woody depth, and the base of musk, vetiver and leather dries down quietly. Fresh, citrus and green accords lead, with spice and leather staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters place it in daily wear, leisure and office use, and sport gets a fair share too. It reads as an easy daytime scent for men. Montblanc Explorer Extreme and Baldessarini Signature have a close profile.
