What does Tome 1 - La Pureté for Him smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it is noticed by those close by without filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily and business wear, with some votes for evenings and nights out too.

The opening pairs the citrus-floral freshness of bergamot and orange blossom, with almond sweetening it. In the heart, gaiac wood, tonka bean and patchouli pull it into a creamy, spicy oriental direction. The base of woody notes, white musk and sandalwood leaves a powdery, warm trail. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Love! pour Lui and Joop! Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
