What does Rose Bois de Gaiac smell like?

It opens with kaffir lime and saffron. In the heart, damask rose, gaiac wood and cashmere wood come together, with the floral side balanced by wood. In the base, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla soften and sweeten it, leaving an oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though both rest on only a few votes. It has a warm, close character that can sit on either men or women. Perfumes with a similar profile include L'Artisan Parfumeur Safran Troublant and Tom Ford Café Rose (2012).
