What does Le Provocateur smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also suits daily wear. Half of the voters call it masculine, and some describe it as modern.

Grapefruit and mandarin orange give it a fresh, fruity lift, and mint carries that freshness along. Cinnamon and spices add a warm bite over the sweetness, while amber, tonka bean and musk settle it on a creamy base. Leather and rose bring a smoky, woody edge. Basile Basile Uomo Intense and Swiss Arabian Fawaz have a close profile.
