What does Eau d'Ivoire (2013) smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions, with night out picked far less. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close without feeling heavy. Most voters find it feminine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with red currant and bergamot, a bright, slightly sharp fruit freshness. In the heart, magnolia, osmanthus absolute and patchouli build a floral body, and the patchouli pulls it toward a spicy, powdery tone without weighing it down. In the base, ambrettolide closes the scent on a soft, sweet trail.
