What does Duc de Vervins L'Extreme smell like?

Bergamot and lemon open bright and sharp. The heart builds a spicy, herbal core of cumin, rosemary, nutmeg, lavender and geranium, and the base of oakmoss absolute and patchouli settles it into a woody, earthy footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer works too, and daily wear and the office get the most votes. It reads masculine and classic. Houbigant Duc de Vervins and Creed Bois du Portugal have a close profile.
