What does L'Homme aux Gants smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring behind and summer rarely chosen. It suits leisure time, evenings and nights out, and can also be worn to the office. Most voters read it as masculine.

It opens on nutmeg, then moves into cypriol and hedione at the heart. The base is warm and resinous: patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and gurjum balsam add sweetness, while gaiac wood, cedar and oud keep it woody, and musk softens the whole. Versace Santal Boisé and LM Parfums Ambre Bohème have a close profile.
