What does Vert Gothique / Oakmoss smell like?

As a whole it smells dry and austere: oakmoss and patchouli lead, while leather and oud add a dark depth. Cedarwood gives it a woody frame and white pepper adds a spicy edge.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though leisure and business wear also get votes. La Curie Faunus and French Avenue Sultry Woods have a close profile.
