What does Rayon Vert smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a calm trail through the day without feeling heavy. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even, which puts it somewhere in between.

It opens with citrus and blackcurrant bud absolute running into a spicy greenness. The heart brings caraway, chamomile and angelica, while immortelle absolute, Virginia cedar and sandalwood settle it onto a woody base. The floral side stays in the background.
