Acteur for men

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on fruity notes, cardamom and bergamot, moves through rose, carnation and patchouli, and settles on leather, oakmoss and musk.

• fruity notes: a general fruitiness rather than any one fruit
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
