What does WO/03 Café et Cèdre smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely picked. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, though some also choose it for business and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.

The top notes are bergamot, coffee and black pepper, with the coffee adding a sweet, gourmand edge. In the heart, clary sage, orris root and frankincense make a powdery, spicy transition. The base of tonka bean, amberwood, cashmeran and Palo Santo settles it on a woody, sweet footing. Its profile is close to La Rive Mr. Sharp and Carolina Herrera Bad Boy (Eau de Toilette).
