Frederic Malle's Bois D'Orage
I sniffed Bois D'Orage at Barneys in NYC.
I thought it smelled liked warmed hay.
The Malle sales associate smiled warmly but indicated with a curt negative head bob that I was way off base. There was an opening note of bergamot with angelica and cedar in the drydown. It was more masculine than I would normally wear but I just could not stop sniffing my wrist.
I can only imagine how fabulous this scent would be on the nape of the neck of an attractive man.
It is currently available at Barneys in NYC for $185.
The listed notes in the Barneys catalog are nutmeg, iris, cedar, cardamon, musk and pimento.

i like the packaging, good scents always come in plain old-style bottles. I should give it a try, merci.
A, shouldn't the actual creator of that scent get a credit for it? Frédéric Malle has nothing to do with it: he just puts out the money and then rakes it in, I think.
PS. Of course, one hardly ever mentions the name of the creator of a Givenchy or Chanel perfume, but in the case of the FM range, the names are actually written on the bottles.
now that you mention it I do get some hay from it.
