What does 14 Juillet smell like?

It opens with tangerine and blackcurrant, while the fireworks note adds a bright, synthetic edge. In the heart, labdanum, violet leaf and cinnamon bring a spicy, lightly smoky turn, and the base of tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin settles it onto a soft, sweet footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it tends to be noticed up close without filling a room. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and its green and gourmand sides let it move from day into evening. Monkoku Noir Vocalist and The Dua Brand Crater have a close profile.
