What does Esprit du Tigre smell like?

It opens with camphor and peppermint, sharp and airy, almost medicinal. In the heart, pepper, clove and cardamom take over and turn it into a dry spice. The base of vetiver, cinnamon and nutmeg leaves a green, woody and slightly oriental trail.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure and business wear lead the occasion votes. The masculine reading outweighs the others, though it works as a unisex scent. Noble Royale Majestueux Vetiver and Amouage Enclave have a close profile.
