What does L'Enfant Terrible smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot, which gives a fresh, citrusy lift. In the heart, Sri Lankan black tea and ginger add a dry, spicy edge while the sweetness stays in the background. The base of cedarwood, Ambrox, musk and labdanum absolute softens it into a woody, lightly sweet finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. Votes on character lean masculine, though feminine and modern votes are well represented too.
