What does Avant Garde smell like?

It opens with pepper, cardamom, neroli and lemon, a fresh and lightly spicy start. In the heart, geranium, violet and iris add a soft floral touch, while patchouli, amber and cedarwood settle it onto a sweet, woody base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. There are too few votes to say much about season or occasion, though its fresh, citrusy build leans towards warmer days. Prada L'Homme and Xerjoff Accento have a close profile.
