What does Téméraire smell like?

The top opens with Guatemala cardamom and Indonesian clove leaf, which give it a spicy start. The heart of Moroccan iris concrete and Indian tuberose absolute brings a powdery, creamy floral note. In the base, Siam benzoin adds sweetness and resin, while Atlas cedar, Woodleather® and Java vetiver form a woody, smoky foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though from a small number of votes. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Prada Infusion d'Iris Absolue and Tom Ford Santal Blush have a close profile.
