What does Bois de Cèdre Petit Grain smell like?

It opens with orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit and bergamot, joined by cinnamon and elemi resin. The heart brings petitgrain, lavender, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, with rose and iris staying in the background. In the base, cedar, sandalwood and patchouli lead, while vanilla, praliné and amber give it a creamy sweetness. The overall impression is fresh, green and woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend spring and autumn, with summer and winter not far behind. It is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex.
