What does Gaiac 10 smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing a little. It leans towards daily and leisure wear and also suits the office. Most people read it as masculine.

The woody, smoky side dominates: gaiac wood and cedar absolute give it a dry frame, while frankincense adds a spicy, smoky edge. Musk settles it onto a creamy base, and the fresh accord softens the dryness. A smooth, synthetic quality runs through it. Montagne Parfums Eau Gaiac and Serge Lutens L'orpheline have a close profile.
