What does Sources d'Origine - Métal Absolu smell like?
It opens with Thai lemon grass and Madagascan ginger, then moves into matcha and aldehydes in the heart, giving it a clean, slightly synthetic brightness. The base of Java vetiver, Virginia cedar and amber sets down a woody, powdery floor, while spicy and floral touches stay in the background.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, then autumn, and winter rarely gets chosen. It is worn from daytime through the evening. The votes split between masculine and feminine rather than settling on one. Tom Ford Lavender Palm and Caron Vétiver Infini have a close profile.
