What does Bois de Babylone smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, violet leaf and fig tree, which read green and fruity with a cool edge. In the heart, freesia and frankincense add a soft floral and resinous touch. Cedarwood, cashmere and suede then settle it into something powdery, creamy and faintly leathery, while sweet and spicy tones stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards autumn and spring, and name evening, daily wear and the office among the main occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though a sizeable group finds it feminine.
