Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and summer, and it leans towards a night out, leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.
It opens fresh and green with lavender, lemon, bergamot and basil. In the heart, cyclamen, rose and fir add a floral, aquatic touch. The base of moss, cedar, leather and amber gives an woody, resinous, slightly animal chypre footing. Ébène de Balmain and Dior Jules have a close profile.
