What does Sans Merci smell like?

Patchouli, Haitian vetiver and davana lead the scent, while whisky brings the sweetness and the smoky air. The green and earthy sides are balanced by spice, and the leathery tone adds a mature firmness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes. Sitting between masculine and feminine, it reads as unisex. Those looking for a similar profile may also look at Akro Malt and Jovoy Incident Diplomatique.
