What does L'Homme (2008) smell like?

Voters call it distinctly masculine and classic. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, and it is picked most for fall and spring, mainly for daily wear and the office.

It opens with lemon and mint for a bright start. In the heart, lavender, clove and ylang-ylang add a spicy, floral softness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss gives it a woody, slightly leathery footing. Etro New Tradition and L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau du Caporal have a close profile.
