What does Racine Carrée smell like?

At first, chamomile, carrot and celery give a fresh, green and lightly spicy opening. In the heart, clary sage and iris add a powdery softness, with Glycyrrhiza glabra running alongside the green. The base of cypriol, Haitian vetiver and ambrox rests the scent on a woody, earthy footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a close trail without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daytime. It leans masculine in the votes, though a fair share call it feminine. Racyne Verdeur and Les Indémodables Escale en Haïti have a close profile.
