What does Côté Cour smell like?

It opens light and fresh with lime, white tea and bergamot. In the heart, iris and rose set the floral tone while patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten and soften it. The base brings woody, musky, spicy and powdery notes together with amber, leaving a warm, creamy trail.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and it suits leisure time as well as evenings and nights out. Votes lean slightly feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Guerlain Métalys / Metallica and Fragonard Rose Ambre have a close profile.
