What does Ted Lapidus pour Homme (1978) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top is coriander, bergamot, aldehydes, thyme and lemon. Jasmine, leather, patchouli and spruce lead the heart, and the base settles on moss, frankincense, musk, castoreum and labdanum. The accords read spicy, oriental, resinous, earthy and smoky, with animal and leathery touches adding to a dark, dry feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Half of voters call it masculine, and many call it classic. Veejaga Hascish Men and Montale Oudrising have a close profile.
