What does Encre de Vigne smell like?

The top is bergamot, eucalyptus, aniseed and grape leaf, giving a fresh, green opening. In the heart, nutmeg, saffron and jasmine bring out the spicy and floral side. It dries down to patchouli, grapevine, sandalwood and amber, a woody, resinous base, with animal and earthy tones staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes this tentative. It reads comfortably on both men and women and suits those who like green-spicy scents. Its profile is close to Der Duft Pride and Gerini Imperial Patchouli.
