What does Monsieur Bouquet (Pure Perfume) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, and nearly all who voted score them high, though the number of votes is small. There is no season or occasion preference to report, but the concentration suits those who do not want a light everyday scent.

Pine needle and cinnamon leaf open it spicy and green. Leather, patchouli and benzoin then ground it in an earthy, resinous heart. Frankincense, musk and amber dry down at the base, with the floral accord softening the picture from the side.
