SmokyWhat does Bonne Chauffe smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to evening and night-out wear, while leisure and daily use come well behind. It sits comfortably on both men and women.
It opens with davana and Madagascar pepper, a spicy, slightly fruity start. In the heart, plum, bran absolute and oak wood take over, and the sweetness that begins here carries through the whole scent. In the base, Siam benzoin adds resinous warmth, while Virginia cedar, Java vetiver and patchouli leave an earthy, smoky woodiness as it dries.
