What does Bois d'Olivier & Cade smell like?

It opens with lemon zest, lavender and apple, a bright, lightly fruity start softened by jasmine. In the heart, cade juniper, olive wood and patchouli build a woody body while marine notes keep it fresh. Vetiver and sandalwood settle it onto a dry, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most-voted occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with some voters calling it modern or classic. James Bond 007 (Eau de Toilette) and Lacoste Red (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
