What does Ténéré (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and lemon alongside lavender, rosemary and green notes. The heart adds tarragon, jasmine, cinnamon and honey, giving a floral, spicy and slightly sweet layer. The base of amber, cedar, vetiver and leather dries down woody, resinous and earthy.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and wear spreads from daily and leisure to nights out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Ralph Lauren Safari for Men and Rochas Globe.
