What does Gaultier² (2005) smell like?

Amber, musk and vanilla dry down into a soft, warm and sweet whole. The gourmand and powdery side leads, with spicy and woody tones balancing it, while synthetic and animal touches give the scent an unusual edge.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and summer gets only a small share. It feels most at home in the evening and on nights out, and voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Its profile is close to Theany Cosmetic Skarlett and Kerosene Promises, Promises.
