What does Commune de Paris - Cologne 1871 smell like?
It wears with moderate longevity and projection, and most voters place it in spring and summer, for daily wear, leisure and the office. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits in the middle of the gender line.
Sicilian lemon and bergamot give it a cool brightness, while rosemary and Provençal lavender absolute add a green, herbal edge. Pink pepper brings a light spice, and cedarwood and vetiver add a dry woodiness. Benzoin, labdanum and coumarin soften it with a resinous, powdery touch.
