What does Foudroyant smell like?

Most voters recommend fall and winter, and night out and evening wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.

Canadian cedar leaf opens it, and the heart of labdanum absolute and Colombian tolu balm adds a resinous warmth. Malayan oud dominates the base. Sweet, spicy, oriental and smoky accords sit on a woody backbone. Amouage Material and Ensar Oud Kelantan have a close profile.
