What does Sel d'Argent smell like?

Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office and sport use also chosen. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't read as belonging to one side.

It opens with Italian bergamot, salt and grapefruit for a bright, slightly salty citrus. The heart adds Tunisian orange blossom absolute, Persian galbanum and Madagascan ylang-ylang, a soft floral touch. In the base, ambroxan, cashmeran, Timbersilk™ and white musk dry it down to a woody, aquatic, clean finish. Laboratorio Olfattivo Need_U and Issey Miyake L'Eau Majeure d'Issey have a close profile.
