What does La Lanterne Rouge smell like?

It opens with saffron, date, goji berry and red mandarin orange, giving a warm, fruity start. The heart brings crab apple blossom, red peony and red osmanthus for a soft floral note. The base rests on Brazilian rosewood and ambergris, which read woody, oriental and slightly leathery.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though few voters have rated them, so treat that with caution. Most voters pick evening, followed by nights out, while leisure and daytime wear come further behind. It has been discontinued. Xerjoff Deified Tony Iommi and Simone Andreoli Rose of Dangerous Flamenco have a close profile.
