What does Carte Blanche smell like?

The top notes are mandarin orange, bergamot and pepper, so it opens bright with a light spiciness. In the heart, sage, cardamom and pine needle tea add a green, spicy tone. The base of sandalwood and amyris settles it into a woody, powdery, creamy softness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. With its fresh, woody character it sits comfortably on both men and women and suits everyday wear. Angel Schlesser Femme (Eau de Toilette) and Lanvin L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
