What does Le Vainqueur (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens bright and aquatic with mandarin orange zest, bergamot zest and sea breeze. The heart adds a spicy, green touch through nutmeg, ginger, geranium and lavender, while cedarwood, sandalwood, musk and leather build a woody base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. It reads mostly masculine and classic. Casamorati Mefisto and Creed Erolfa have a close profile.
