What does Chamade Homme smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer further behind. Night out, leisure and evening lead the occasions, while business and daily wear sit close behind. Most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with Italian bergamot and black pepper. In the heart, nutmeg, violet leaf and hyacinth add a floral, powdery greenness. The base of vetiver, precious woods and leather settles into a woody, leathery footing. Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées - Chypre Silver and Balenciaga L'Essence have a close profile.
