What does Peau d'Ours smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a small number of votes. With its sweet, resinous build it suits anyone after a dense, warm scent, and it reads equally well on men and women. Zoologist Moth and Jean Marc Paris Cowboy have a close profile.

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as a single piece. Honey and beeswax carry the sweetness, while tobacco, musk and ambergris settle it onto a soft, powdery ground. Laotian oud supplies the woody, spicy side and muskrat adds an animal warmth, with lemon and violet leaf lightening the density a little.
