What does Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. It is picked most often for autumn, with the other seasons close behind. Daily wear, the office and evenings out all get similar weight. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though those ratings rest on few votes.

It opens with juniper, basil and bergamot giving a green freshness. In the heart, pine needle, cedarwood and patchouli build a woody frame. The base of moss, leather and castoreum leaves an earthy, animal warmth, and the spicy, smoky accords add weight.
