What does Manteuse smell like?

It opens with honey, Italian bergamot and white blossoms. The heart holds orris root, leather, cistus, vanilla and sandalwood, where the powdery, leathery side comes forward. In the base, musk, styrax, patchouli and animalic notes leave it resinous, spicy and woody.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters pick fall and spring most, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads both ways. Its profile is close to Francesca Bianchi Cuir Soyeux and Dorin Bureau du Roi.
