What does Gris clair... (2006) smell like?

Lavender brings a fresh, green lift that meets the powdery floral side of iris, while frankincense adds a smoky shadow. Amber and tonka bean pull the scent towards a soft sweetness, and dry woods tie it back to a woody dryness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it is worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex. Gris clair... has been discontinued, and Serge Lutens Gris clair... (2019) has a close profile.
