What does Dorval smell like?

The opening of bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom is fresh with a slight bite. In the heart, cinnamon, copaiba balsam and clary sage bring out the spicy, resinous side. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and gaiac wood sweetens it and adds a warm, woody, smoky edge. Gourmand, powdery and creamy tones run through the dry-down.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Autumn and winter lead, spring follows closely, and summer is the least chosen season. Evenings and nights out come first, though it also works for business and leisure. It reads masculine. Rayhaan Crimson and Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif have a close profile.
