What does Prométhée (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top leans on cistus, frankincense and nutmeg, with myrtle and fennel adding a green, spicy edge. In the heart, narcissus and Caucasian lily bring a floral, powdery side, while styrax and lavender absolute set them on a resinous floor. The base of vetiver, myrrh and labdanum dries down earthy, woody and faintly animal.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear stand out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though some voters call it feminine or classic. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Zafar and Amouage Gold Woman.
