What does Versailles pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Autumn and winter lead, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and for leisure. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic.

The top has bergamot, lemon and green notes, with pimento and clary sage adding spice. Patchouli, carnation and sandalwood form the heart. The base settles into amber, vanilla, leather and labdanum, with a woody, earthy, smoky feel.
