What does Double-Fond smell like?

Calabrian bergamot gives it a fresh start, while thyme and rosemary carry a spicy greenness. Cocoa adds a soft sweetness in between, and mahogany wood settles the whole thing on a woody base. Fresh and green accords lead, with the sweetness staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and office too. Its profile suits men and women alike. Hugo Boss Hugo Reversed and Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano V: Lauro share a close profile.
