What does Tapis Volant smell like?

The top is made of aldehydes, bergamot and carrot seed, so the first impression is clean and citrusy. Iris and spices lead the heart, with Mahonial® supporting the floral side. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood and white musk give a woody, creamy footing, while tonka bean and Ambrofix add a little sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, then summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. More voters call it feminine, though a fair share find it masculine. Nobile 1942 Muschio Nobile and Ramón Monegal Siesta have a close profile.
