What does L'Essence de la Terre smell like?

Freesia, rose and violet form a floral frame, while honey, vanilla and chocolate pull it towards a sweet, gourmand side. Patchouli and vetiver add a woody, earthy weight, and bergamot lightens that density a little. A spicy, oriental tone sits quietly in the background.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer rarely comes up. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, and most voters read it as feminine.
