What does Espionage smell like?
The top notes of red wine, bergamot and cherry water give a fruity, sweet start. In the heart, amber, clary sage and ozone turn that sweetness towards freshness, with gourmand and spicy shades along the way. The base of vetiver and cedar settles into a woody, earthy and slightly smoky ground. Overall it sits between fresh, sweet and woody, with a synthetic sheen. Perfumes with a close profile include Le Labo Vetiver 46 and Lalique Hommage à l'Homme Voyageur.
