What does Lightsource smell like?

Green fig and lemon open it; bitter orange, candied rose, jasmine and petitgrain form the heart. Black pepper and pink pepper in the base add a spicy edge. The overall impression is clean, fruity and lightly sweet, with a somewhat synthetic sheen.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall following. It is chosen most often for leisure, business and daily wear. Votes for the feminine and masculine character are close. Jean Poivre Lost In Euphoria and Custo Barcelona Custo Man have a close profile.
