What does Le Puy-En-Velay 4 smell like?

Cardamom, bay leaf and sage give it a green-spicy frame, lightened a little by bergamot. Sandalwood, labdanum and benzoin lay down a resinous, woody base, while vanilla and rum sweeten it. Grasse rose and May rose stay in the background, and musk softens the whole.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong. The sample is small, so this is only a tentative picture, but its rating is high as well. It sits comfortably on either masculine or feminine skin and leaves a clear trail. Its profile is close to Pierre de Velay No. 4 and Ikiryō Damn Hippie.
