What does Gueule de Bois smell like?

It opens on pink pepper and black pepper. In the heart, Somalian frankincense and cinnamon add a resinous warmth, while rum and coumarin sweeten it. As it dries, tobacco absolute, vanilla, sandalwood and vetiver take over, leaving a sweet, powdery, slightly smoky woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards night-out and evening wear, though it also works for daily use. It reads slightly more masculine, but plenty of voters find it feminine. Royal Crown Tabac Royal and Odin New York 11 Semma have a close profile.
