What does Corps & Ames (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters place it in autumn and winter, with spring a close second. Evenings, nights out and leisure time are the usual choices. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two.

The character is floral and spicy: jasmine sambac and lily of the valley carry the flowers, while sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody base. Leather and immortelle weigh that base down with a powdery, resinous, leathery warmth. Anatole Lebreton Armonia and Montale Aoud Purple Rose have a close profile.
