Top notes are Caramel, Italian Mandarin and Mint; middle notes are Sage, Black Violet and Virginia Cedar; base notes are Benzoin, Guaiac Wood and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf. It is the timeless and iconic interpretation of a "Gentleman" attracted by surpassing oneself and these extremes ~ Instant and excess are the conductors of this sensual and primitive eau de parfum, in which we discover petals of violets and bursts of fresh mint ~ A dense and refined wake that is prolonged by precious accords of wood essences ~ A daring fragrance that evolves in the depth and intimacy of an instinctive male, a male animal, like the wearer.Top notes: Caramel, Italian Mandarin and Mint Middle notes: Sage, Black Violet and Virginia Cedar Base notes: Benzoin, Gaïac and Indonesian patchouli leaf
