WoodyWhat does Clémentine California smell like?
The citrus turns sweet and fruity, while mint and juniper berry give it a lightly spicy, airy side. Provençal cypress and Haitian vetiver sit behind as a woody frame without weighing it down.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. It is unisex, with feminine and masculine votes almost level. Caron L'Anarchiste and Atelier Cologne Vétiver Fatal have a close profile.
