What does Cendres de Thé smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are close, which puts it somewhere between the two.
It opens with cardamom and smoky notes, and the heart holds rose, tea and camphor wood. In the base, musk, myrrh and cedar settle in, and the scent keeps its fresh, citrusy air while softening into a woody warmth.
