Le Cirque Bleu

Oakmoss, tobacco absolute, patchouli and vetiver carry the weight, while Russian leather, castoreum and civet add an animal depth. Provençal lavender absolute, thyme, rosemary and bergamot open this dark structure with a green, aromatic freshness, and pine needle and spruce bring a cool, resinous note. The overall impression is spicy, earthy and dry.

Longevity and projection are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and leisure, evening and night out are favoured equally. Votes for masculine and feminine are level, so it reads comfortably on either. Missoni Missoni Uomo (Eau de Toilette) and Hermès Rocabar (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
