What does Molinard Homme I smell like?

Most voters pick it for spring and fall, and put it down for leisure, daily wear and the office. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. It is classed as a masculine fragrance.

The top is myrtle, geranium, clove and lavender, with the clove adding a little spice to the fresh opening. Mint, gaiac wood and cedarwood carry the heart. Vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and oakmoss in the base give it a woody, resinous, slightly sweet footing. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme and Rania J. Lavande 44 have a close profile.
