From your scent profile
A unisex spicy and woody perfume by Hermès, released in 2018. Most often worn in autumn and best suited to evenings.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.
How does it perform?
From 94 community ratings, all out of 10.
Keeps you company for a few hours, a quick refresh fits nicely.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.
