What does Suave smell like?

The top is cardamom, lavender and bergamot, with bergamot and lavender giving a bright start and cardamom adding a light spice. The heart holds cedar, patchouli, caraway and iris; iris brings a powdery softness while cedar and patchouli deepen the woody side. Vetiver, musk and ambergris form the base. The overall impression is clean, lightly sweet and a little synthetic.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Fragonard Homme Élégant and Guerlain Eau de Cashmere have a close profile.
