What does No.12 - Bousval (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick it for everyday and leisure use, with business settings close behind. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters lean masculine, with feminine a fairly close second.

It opens with Italian bergamot, Valencia orange and white cardamom, a citrusy, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, oakmoss, petitgrain and eucalyptus bring out the green side. Myrrh, amber and black cedar settle it onto a woody base. Commodity Moss and Miller Harris Tea Tonique have a close profile.
