What does Mon Numéro 9 smell like?

It has moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it sits closest to leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters split between masculine and feminine, so it reads as genuinely in between.

The top is citrusy, spicy and clean, with coriander, cardamom, citron and lemon petitgrain. In the heart, cyclamen, shiso leaf and Turkish rose add a soft floral, green touch. Patchouli, vetiver and myrrh ground it in a woody base. Clarins Eau Dynamisante and Roger & Gallet Feuille de Thé / Thé Fantaisie have a close profile.
