What does Sibet / New Sibet smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen by few. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits in the middle of the gender line. It has been discontinued.

Goatskin and leather lead, with cistus and moss bringing a resinous, earthy tone. Iris adds powder, carnation a spicy floral touch, and mint cools the green side. The result is a smoky, dry, heavy leather chypre. Caron Tabac Blond and La Parfumerie Moderne Cuir X have a close profile.
