What does La Route des Épices - Madras smell like?

Pink pepper, black pepper and spices shape the first impression. Towards the heart, Ceylonese cinnamon and nutmeg come forward and the scent takes on a warm, spiced depth. At the base, Australian sandalwood, gaiac wood and tonka bean build a woody, powdery ground, while the fruity and earthy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters place it most often in daily wear, followed by leisure and evening. Close in profile are s.Oliver Soulmate Men and Jacomo Jacomo for Men.
