WoodyWhat does Bois de Sauge smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than leaving a strong trail. Most voters read it as masculine.
Clary sage opens on a green, spicy note. Gaiac wood gives the heart a woody frame, and patchouli settles the base into an earthy, lightly sweet finish. The aquatic and fresh accords keep it light, with a clearly synthetic brightness. Zara Fleur de Patchouli and Montblanc Explorer Platinum have a close profile.
