What does Berserker smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small share. It is chosen most for leisure and evenings, and voters call its character masculine.
It opens fresh with pink pepper, eucalyptus and bergamot, and frankincense is present from the first moments. The heart brings patchouli, cedar and smoky notes, giving a green, earthy feel. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and amber settles into a woody, resinous ground. Le Labo Vetiver 46 and Pierre Guillaume Monsieur have a close profile.
