Scent description (editorial impression)

Guerlain's note list combines bright citrus with nutmeg and pepper, followed by earthy vetiver, tobacco and tonka bean. The overall impression is dry and woody, with warmth beneath the fresh opening.

Drawn from 9 independent reports, all from a single venue, and fewer than our usual minimum of 10 reports. The evidence is limited; our usual minimum is ten reports across two venues.
