From your scent profile
Jul et Mad Mon Seul Désir is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance that sets an oud, coriander and osmanthus heart against the warmth of benzoin, amber and leathery notes.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

SmokyWhat does Mon Seul Désir smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. Night out and evening lead the occasions, with leisure close behind. Voters lean slightly masculine, though a sizeable share finds it feminine.
It opens with mandarin orange, pink pepper and nutmeg, a fruity, spicy start. The heart holds oud, coriander and osmanthus, bringing floral and sweet accords forward. In the base, gaiac wood, benzoin, musk, leathery notes and amber give it a resinous, woody, smoky warmth. Cuir Noir and Pineider Oud Assoluto have a close profile.
