Fragrance du Bois Cavort Extrait

Description

Cavort Extrait de Parfum captures the thrill of a first encounter: davana, saffron, and cinnamon spark over soft geranium at the top, rose absolute and ylang-ylang bloom through a jasmine-and-orange-blossom heart, and it lands in a warm, resinous base of Indonesian patchouli, frankincense, labdanum, and sandalwood. Perfumer Gaël Montero built it without a drop of true oud. The smoky, ambery richness some wearers read as "oud-like" actually comes from the patchouli-labdanum-frankincense trio, not agarwood.

Scent Character

• Floral: 50%
• Smoky Amber: 33%
• Spicy: 17%

Translation: this is a floral-forward amber with a resinous, amber-woody base, patchouli, labdanum, and frankincense doing the heavy lifting. There's no real agarwood in the formula despite the oud-like depth it reads as.
