What does Bourreau des Fleurs smell like?

Voters also find it suitable for leisure time and night outings. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Character votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits close to both.

Liquorice, charred wood and immortelle build a sweet floral backbone. Spicy, resinous and earthy tones sit on top, with a smoky, woody warmth coming forward. The notes have no top, heart and base split; it reads as one whole.
