Bois de Mysore

It opens bright and citrusy with mandarin orange, neroli and green cardamom, which adds a light spice. In the heart, violet leaf absolute and Indian jasmine sambac absolute bring a soft floral touch, while Ceylonese sandalwood and vulcanolide settle into a creamy, slightly sweet, resinous woodiness.

Longevity is good and sillage is moderate. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind. It is seen as a leisure, work and daytime scent, and masculine and feminine votes run close, so it sits between the two. Chanel Allure (Eau de Parfum) and Mizensir Bois Iridescent have a close profile.
