Jovoy L'Art de la Guerre is a fresh, green and earthy unisex fougère that opens with rhubarb, bergamot and Granny Smith apple and settles into leather, patchouli and oakmoss.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Close to half of voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex.
It starts with rhubarb and apple, which give it a tart, fruity freshness. In the heart, violet leaf, lavender, nutmeg and immortelle build a green, spicy line. The base of leather, patchouli, sandalwood, cistus and oakmoss grounds it in woody, resinous, earthy tones. Jacomo de Jacomo and Penhaligon's Sartorial have a close profile.
