AnimalWhat does Fils de joie smell like?
Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions and business wear chosen least. It reads more feminine than masculine, though some voters call it classic or masculine.
The notes are jasmine, civet and musk. Floral and sweet accords dominate, with a spicy, oriental warmth alongside. Civet and musk add an animal, skin-like weight, while jasmine keeps the whole on the floral side. Al Rehab Jasmin Musk and Serge Lutens Sarrasins have a close profile.
