What does Soudain L'Hiver (Pure Perfume) smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good. It reads as masculine, with a dry, earthy, natural character; there are no season or occasion votes, so nothing more specific can be said about when it suits best.

It opens with cedarwood, spicy notes and pine needle. In the heart, neroli, jasmine and Tunisian rosemary soften that austerity with a floral and herbal touch. The base of frankincense, moss and leather settles into a resinous, earthy, leathery finish, backed by chypre and fougère accords. Henry Jacques Monsieur Bouquet and Etat Libre d'Orange The Afternoon of a Faun have a close profile.
