What does Bois et Cuir smell like?

It opens fresh, green and fruity with grapefruit, bergamot, apple and clary sage. The heart brings lavender, cedar, patchouli and jasmine, and the base is led by leather, oud and vanilla, with oakmoss and fir balsam making it resinous and smoky.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick spring and fall; leisure and daily wear lead, with evening and night out also getting votes. It suits men and women alike, fresh yet leathery.
