What does Scent of Fail 3 smell like?

Rose, patchouli and tonka bean build a floral and woody base, while caramel and almond sweeten it. Civet, castoreum and animalic notes add a dark, earthy depth, and lemon and fennel loosen that density slightly. Floral, fruity, spicy and oriental sides come through among the accords.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits across the gender line. It has been discontinued. Joop! Le Bain and Hugo Boss Boss Intense have a close profile.
