What does Pathétique smell like?

Juniper and black pepper give it a spicy, green edge, with bergamot lightening it a little. Black truffle, moss and vetiver lay an earthy base, while charred wood and amyris carry the smoky, woody tone. Mimosa and frankincense soften this dry structure with a creamy, sweet, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits leisure, evenings and nights out best. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine.
