What does Africa smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and voters are almost evenly split on whether it reads masculine or feminine.

Bergamot, artemisia and lavender open it with a fresh lift. Iris and jasmine bring a soft floral heart. In the base, vanilla, coumarin, cedarwood and musky notes sweeten it and settle it into a woody, oriental finish. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) and Margot & Tita Douce Féline have a close profile.
