Skunky's take: A candidate for the summer vacation bag.
How does it perform?
From 61 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Désobéissant smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. It leans somewhat masculine, though modern and feminine votes are far from rare.
It opens with citron's citrus brightness. In the heart, cardamom spice and Sri Lankan black tea come forward, the tea adding a green, slightly dry edge. Scottish pine and cedarwood form a woody base. Roger & Gallet L'Homme Cèdre and Le Couvent Aqua Minimes have a close profile.
