SmokyWhat does J'ai Osé (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with aldehydes, coriander, citrus fruits and peach; the heart sets a floral base of rose, jasmine and iris, while patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood add woody weight. The base of musk, frankincense, benzoin, ambergris and oakmoss leaves a resinous, earthy, leathery trail.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and its character is mostly read as feminine, with a classic side.
