OrientalWhat does Mauboussin Private Club smell like?
Black pepper, bergamot, cardamom and coriander lead the top, giving a spicy, bright opening. Cinnamon in the heart warms it up, and patchouli and amber settle into an oriental, woody warmth at the base.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though office and daily wear get votes too. It reads masculine and modern. Snob Classic and Glamfume True Story Men have a close profile.
