What does Sens & Bois / Un Parfum des Sens & Bois smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even, which makes it a scent that sits between the two.

Ginger, black pepper and bergamot give a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, vervain, white violet and frankincense add a soft, floral and powdery turn. Chinese toon, patchouli and sandalwood leave an earthy, woody finish. Floris Vetiver and Goutal Mandragore Pourpre have a close profile.
