What does 7.1 Grand Siècle Intense (2014) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean firmly to one side.

It opens with lemon leaf and citrus, green and fresh. In the heart, cypress absolute, mint, hay and tobacco add a spicy, slightly dry edge. In the base, honey sweetens it, while vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss carry the woody, resinous chypre character. Detaille Aéroplane and Goutal Eau de Monsieur have a close profile.
