What does 1885 Bains Sulfureux smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, while summer gets a small share. It suits leisure and daily wear best, yet it also finds a place in the evening and at the office. The masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.
Mandarin orange, rosemary, blackcurrant and bergamot give it a fresh opening. At the heart, orange blossom and jasmine take over. The base builds a warm, resinous floor from labdanum, frankincense, vanilla and benzoin, with sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean softening it into something woody and sweet.
