What does Bois Précieux et Épices smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer the least chosen season. Daily and leisure wear lead, and it sits comfortably in an office too. It leans neither masculine nor feminine, staying somewhere in between.

French apple, Egyptian lemon and Sicilian bergamot give a cool, fruity start. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, clove, pepper and Java patchouli bring the spice forward. Lebanon cedar, oakmoss and musk leave a creamy, earthy woodiness underneath. Olibere Le Jardin de la Reine and Sana Jardin Incense Water have a close profile.
