What does Gen • tle • but • Mad smell like?

It opens with black pepper, bergamot and citrus notes alongside fougère notes. In the heart, star anise, Sichuan pepper, nutmeg and lavender add a spiced warmth. The base of cedarwood, ambroxan, vanilla and labdanum softens everything and dries it down.

Voters rate its longevity as moderate and its sillage as weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative. It shares a close profile with perfumes such as Marks & Spencer Cool Vetiver and Uroda B33.
