What does Body Kouros (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and the character reads mostly masculine and modern. It is rarely chosen for summer heat.
Sweet, gourmand tones sit on a spicy, woody base. It opens with frankincense and eucalyptus, and mace and Chinese cedar give the heart a woody frame. In the base, benzoin and camphor wood finish it in a resinous, slightly smoky and powdery warmth.
