What does Eau Folle smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the small number of votes means those ratings should be read with caution. Voters lean towards daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and night out further behind.
It opens with basil, violet leaf and absinthe wormwood, a green and slightly bitter start. The heart brings rosemary, lavender, ginger and geranium in a classic fougère spirit. The base of vetiver, patchouli, frankincense and cedar settles it into an earthy, woody finish. Amouage Beach Hut Man and Tom Ford Beau de Jour have a close profile.
