What does Le Loden smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. Leisure, business and evening wear are rated about equally, and it reads mostly masculine.

It opens with green mandarin, ginger and pink pepper, bright and spicy. In the heart, juniper berry, raspberry leaf absolute and geranium keep the green note going, with vetiver present throughout. In the base, patchouli, tobacco and ylang-ylang turn it resinous, smoky and earthy.
