What does No 38: Blondwood Silken Suede smell like?

It opens with a light touch of bergamot, then violet leaf absolute, cedarwood and rose otto form the heart. In the base, orris butter, leather, suede and cashmeran take over; the floral and spicy sides stay in the background, and the scent dries down creamy, powdery and softly leathery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex. Jacques Fath Bel Ambre and Cartier Déclaration Parfum have a close profile.
