What does O'Fraiche smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are tentative. It suits men and women alike and sits comfortably in everyday wear.

The scent reads as a single whole rather than a layered progression. Italian bergamot and Concord grape give it a bright, fruity lift, softened by orange blossom and French orris butter. Birch tar and tobacco add a smoky, leathery depth, while sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, musk and ambergris form a woody base.
