What does Les Mauvais Garçons smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Spring, summer and fall draw nearly equal votes, with winter trailing. Leisure and business are the top occasions. Most voters find it masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

Oakmoss, hay absolute and sandalwood form the backbone. Petitgrain, galbanum and lavender add a green, bright edge. Tobacco and frankincense bring smoky depth, while vanilla and coumarin soften it with sweetness. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Pour Homme and Serge Lutens Encens et lavande have a close profile.
