What does Mauboussin Discovery smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, pink pepper and green apple: a bright, lightly spicy and green start. In the heart, cardamom, jasmine and thyme move the scent towards a more aromatic, spicy side. As it dries, leather, oakmoss and patchouli take over, and the fresh opening gives way to a leathery, smoky base. Sweet and synthetic tones run through the accords too, so the scent is less purely crisp than it first seems.
