What does No 57: Canadian Gentleman smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and suggest it for evening, leisure and business settings in roughly equal measure. Most voters read it as masculine, with classic coming second.

It has a fresh, green feel, while iris, orris butter and violet form a powdery, creamy floral body. Cedar and Canadian cedar give the woody frame, softened by vanilla and white musk. A spicy, faintly animal touch stays in the background. Gucci The Virgin Violet and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours have a close profile.
