What does Centaure smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure, evening and daily wear lead the occasions. Voters mostly see it as masculine and classic.

The opening is bright with lemon, Brazilian orange and mint. In the heart, jasmine, neroli and lavender add a soft floral touch, while blackcurrant and fir absolute bring a green, slightly fruity edge. The base of vetiver, tobacco and oakmoss dries it down into a woody, spicy fougère. Chanel Platinum Égoïste and Boadicea the Victorious Oxford have a close profile.
