What does 8.1 L'Ombre Fauve smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine character are close, so it sits comfortably on either.

Red amber opens with a sweet, resinous warmth. In the heart, civet and chevrone add an animalic, powdery and earthy weight, and precious woods dry it down onto a woody, oriental base. Serge Lutens Muscs Koublaï Khän and Keiko Mecheri Cuir Fauve have a close profile.
