What does Genepi / Swiss Unlimited smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters point to fall, followed by spring and summer, and it suits leisure and daily wear as well as the office. Most voters read it as masculine.

Mint and génépi give a cool, herbal opening. In the heart, absinthe wormwood and lavender bring a fougère feel, while amber and silver fir set a sweet, resinous, woody base. A spicy touch and a clearly synthetic edge run alongside. Penhaligon's The Cut and LR Jungle Man (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
