What does Carmen smell like?

Carmen is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a distant third. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it also works for leisure time. It reads equally well on men and women.

It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and rum, fresh with a touch of sweetness. The heart brings clove, leather, tobacco and oak wood, which add a spicy, smoky warmth. Moss, patchouli and labdanum settle underneath, leaving an earthy, resinous, powdery chypre feel. Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours and LM Parfums Cicatrices have a close profile.
