What does Splash Orange Amère smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often as the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and votes for masculine and feminine are almost evenly split, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The citrus notes of Brazilian bitter orange, Calabrian bergamot and grapefruit give the scent its bright, bitter edge. Tarragon adds a green freshness, black pepper and cumin bring a dry spiciness, and oakmoss and cedarwood keep it grounded in a woody base.
