What does Meleg Fougere smell like?

The scent reads fresh and green throughout: mint and peppermint share the lead with lavender and lemon, while ginger and star anise add spice. Geranium absolute and Moroccan rose bring a soft floral touch, and cedar and sandalwood lay a woody base. Powdery, earthy and slightly smoky tones round out the fougère character.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either a masculine or a feminine wearer. Floris Vetiver (Eau de Toilette) and Tom Tailor True Values for Him have a close profile.
