FougèreWhat does B-612 smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter trailing. Daily, leisure and business wear lead, while evening and night out are chosen less. In the character votes masculine comes first, followed by classic and modern.
It opens fresh and green, with lavender and geranium kept dry by cypress. The heart builds a woody base from cedarwood, sandalwood, cashmere wood and patchouli. In the base, musk and tonka bean sweeten it and add a creamy softness, while oakmoss brings an earthy edge. Tom Ford Beau de Jour and Amouage Bracken Man have a close profile.
