What does Il y avait un Jardin… II smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters lean towards leisure and daily wear, then the office, and a few pick it for sport.

Citrus leads: mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon open fresh and green. In the heart, nutmeg, petitgrain, lavender and rosewood add a floral, spicy turn. The base of vetiver, tonka bean and cistus leaves a woody, slightly sweet, resinous finish. The Creed Himalaya and The House of Oud Cypress Shade have a close profile.
