What does 1965 - L'Essence de Flamboyance smell like?

Pink pepper, bergamot and saffron open with a spicy brightness, softened by nutmeg and Italian lemon. Leather, labdanum and frankincense lead the heart, while orange and mandarin add a light sweetness. Indonesian patchouli, Virginia cedar, musk and amber build an earthy, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind, and evening, night out and leisure come up most. Half of voters read it as masculine, and many call it classic.
