What does Les Nombres d'Or - Violette Fumée smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer further behind. Evening, leisure and daily wear draw similar support, and while more voters call it feminine, a fair share read it as masculine.

It opens with oakmoss, bergamot, lavender and saffron, a green, spicy start. The heart turns floral and woody around violet leaf, violet, rose, vetiver and gaiac wood. Myrrh, opoponax and cashmeran close it on a resinous, sweet and smoky warmth.
