What does L'Astre smell like?

Voters spread it almost evenly across all four seasons, with spring slightly ahead. Evening and night out lead the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Though unisex, most voters call it feminine, and a smaller group finds it classic.

It opens with wild thyme, Indian cardamom, fennel and Laotian red ginger, fresh, green and spicy. The heart builds a floral texture from orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang and tuberose. In the base, vanilla, amber, suede and tolu balm carry it into a sweet, resinous, slightly leathery warmth.
