What does Arsène Lupin / Arsène Lupin Dandy smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and summer gets the fewest votes. It leans towards nights out and evenings. Half of the voters call it masculine, and a good share call it classic.

It opens with pink pepper, bergamot and Brazilian rosewood, which keep it fresh and lightly spiced. In the heart, cardamom, sage, frankincense and violet add a floral, powdery layer. The base of gaiac wood, leather, patchouli and sandalwood pulls it towards a smoky, leathery, chypre-leaning finish.
