ResinousWhat does 1500 - L'Essence de Distance smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is classed as a men's perfume.
Mint and bitter orange lead the scent; osmanthus adds a floral softness, while beech wood brings a woody, slightly smoky depth. It reads as a fresh, green fougère, with sweet, spicy, resinous and earthy touches staying in the background. Goutal Eau du Fier and D.S. & Durga Freetrapper have a close profile.
