What does Les 7 Parfums Capitaux - Boisé smell like?

It opens with red cedar, freesia and caraway together: wood and spice come first, while freesia adds a light floral note. In the heart, violet and sandalwood soften the scent, and in the base Brazilian rosewood and musk settle into a calm, earthy woodiness. The accords also carry a synthetic edge.

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the settings named most often. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters read it as more masculine, though a fair number call it feminine. Avon Noir and V Canto Posí have a close profile.
