What does Nouveau Monde smell like?

Saffron and cocoa bring a sweet, spicy warmth, while patchouli, Assam oud and frankincense settle it onto a woody, resinous, smoky base. Blackcurrant adds a fruity touch inside the dense blend. With leathery and animal facets alongside the oriental accord, the scent turns rich and rough-edged.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and voters mostly read it as masculine and classic.
