It’s a classic that still smells fresh. It reminds me of Lancôme Poème, Eau Rochas, and Bois Mystique, as others have noted. Citrus-woody with a sweet touch of amber and musk at the end. Lasts over 10 hours and projects well for several. If you like the style, it’s a must: top quality and a reasonable price for a niche fragrance (around £120 for 100ml). See you soon!
