What does Selection - Modern Dandy smell like?

It opens with lime, cardamom and violet absolute, while rosemary, thyme and Provençal lavender in the heart give it a green, aromatic line. Patchouli, cistus absolute and fir balsam absolute settle it onto a woody, resinous base, with sweet and spicy touches staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small. Its fresh, citrusy build suits daytime wear for anyone who wants a calm, clean scent. Ferrari Pure Lavender and Loewe Solo Esencial have a close profile.
