What does Liqueur Charnelle smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, spring gets a fair share, and summer very little. Evening, night out and leisure are the occasions named most often. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it sits right in the middle.

Blond tobacco and tonka bean lay a sweet, soft base, while raspberry adds a fruity brightness on top of it. Black pepper and pink pepper draw a spicy edge, and elemi resin and woods pull the scent towards a smoky, woody tone. Serge Lutens Arabie and Franck Boclet Tobacco have a close profile.
