What does Brume d'Hiver smell like?

It starts dry and green with juniper berry, Italian bergamot and elemi resin. Rose, Bulgarian rose and jasmine carry the heart. The base is sweetened by musk, violet, vanilla and oud, while powder, clove and frankincense add a spicy, resinous and smoky edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time, though it is also worn for work and daily use. More voters find it feminine than masculine, but a sizeable group reads it as masculine.
