WoodyWhat does L'Humaniste smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend it for summer and spring, with autumn well behind and winter rarely chosen. It leans towards daily wear, leisure time and the office, and is picked less for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, voters mostly find it masculine.
The top is bright and spicy-cool, with citrus, black pepper and cardamom. The heart brings juniper, peony, thyme and nutmeg, green and floral sides coming forward while the spice carries on. In the base, tonka bean sweetens it slightly, while oakmoss and gin set a dry, woody ground. Frapin L'Humaniste Extrême and Nicolaï L'Eau miXte have a close profile.
