What does 11 Harmatan Noir smell like?

It opens with mint tea, and the heart brings cedar, jasmine and salt. The base holds blossoms, woods and spices. Fresh and citrus accords dominate, with floral, aquatic and green sides rounding it out while the spicy and woody notes stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as genuinely in between. Its profile is close to Hermès Voyage d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Issey Miyake A Scent.
