What does J'Adoube smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; most voters pick spring and fall. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, with modern also standing out, so it doesn't commit to one gender.

Madagascan mandarin orange and red currant give a bright, slightly tart start. In the heart, pomegranate and Damask rose add a floral sweetness. The base of leather, Sulawesi patchouli, benzoin and Ambrostar settles into a spicy, soft, leathery ground. Mancera Roses Greedy and Byredo Lil Fleur have a close profile.
