What does Karité Corsé smell like?

Cardamom, black pepper and bergamot give it a bright, spicy start. In the heart, coffee, cocoa and roasted shea nut build a creamy, gourmand warmth, while vetiver, iris and cedarwood settle it onto a powdery, earthy, woody base.

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least favoured. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business and evening use also getting votes. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters most often call its character masculine.
