From your scent profile
Pierre de Velay No. 9 is a unisex fragrance that links a bright opening of lemon and bergamot to a floral heart of May rose and Grasse jasmine.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

ResinousWhat does No. 9 smell like?
The citrus notes give a fresh, lively start before the flowers come forward. In the base, labdanum, benzoin and vanilla sweeten the scent, while cedarwood, patchouli and cashmere wood add a woody footing. Fruity and spicy touches round out the accords.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. It collects the most votes as masculine, with modern and feminine close behind. It has been discontinued. Pierre de Velay No. 1 and Roja Parfums Aoud have a close profile.
