What does L'Eau du Navigateur smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings out and leisure time. Most read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Spices and woods set the frame, while leather and tobacco pull it towards a dry, smoky line. Coffee and rum add a gourmand sweetness, and frankincense and resins keep an oriental warmth running through it. Blossoms stay in the background. Alcott Dark and Jovoy Pavillon Rouge have a close profile.
