What does DesirToxic smell like?

Cardamom and bergamot give the top a bright, slightly green opening. In the heart, cinnamon and tonka bean add a sweet, spicy tone, while hemp and blackcurrant keep the fruity and green sides going. The base of benzoin, patchouli, moss and musk settles it onto a soft, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind and summer the least chosen. It leans towards leisure, night-out and evening wear, and also finds a place in daily and office use. It reads mostly masculine. Close in profile are M. Micallef DesirToxic L'Intense and Frapin L'Humaniste Extrême.
