What does Mauboussin M Generation smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, while spring and summer trail behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet also suits business and daily wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and most voters read it as masculine.
It opens with ginger, pepper, nutmeg, bay leaf and bergamot, fresh and spicy at once. The heart of jasmine, cinnamon, frankincense and orris root adds a sweet, resinous, slightly smoky touch. It settles into gaiac wood, cedar, sandalwood and labdanum, woody and oriental in feel.
