What does Baïkal Leather Intense smell like?

Voters find its longevity good and its sillage moderate. Most pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear, though business and daily use are not far behind. Masculine votes run slightly ahead of feminine ones, so it sits between the two.

The top is fresh, green and spicy with saffron, spearmint, yuzu and black pepper. In the heart, violet, rose and orris butter add a powdery floral note, and leather comes forward within it. Sandalwood, vetiver, gaiac wood and smoked pine ground it in a woody base.
