What does 03 Cuir Venenum smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it is worn mostly for leisure and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

The backbone is leathery and smoky, and leather, cedar and myrrh keep that side dry. Honey and orange blossom absolute sweeten it and add a soft floral touch, while citrus zest lends a light freshness to the whole. Musk blends everything smoothly together.
