Monsillage Pays Dogon is a unisex scent that sets the sharpness of black pepper, pink pepper and ginger against an earthy, smoky base of cypriol, gaiac wood and patchouli.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin yet lasts through the day. Voters lean towards spring and fall, with leisure and evening wear coming first. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters see it as feminine.
It opens with peppery spice, ginger and green notes for a fresh, crisp edge, and hibiscus softens the heart. In the dry-down, cypriol, gaiac wood, sandalwood, Java vetiver and patchouli form a woody, resinous, smoky base, with date adding a slight fruity sweetness. Roberto Capucci Blu Water (Eau de Parfum) and Kerosene Wood Haven have a close profile.
