What does Vibrant smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It is presented as a women's scent, but its smoky, leathery build sets it apart from conventional florals.

The top is a bright citrus lift. In the heart, rose meets smoky and woody notes, with floral, spicy and resinous accords balancing each other. The base of musk, leather and resins leaves a warm, animalic trail. Clubman Pinaud Special Reserve and Dita von Teese Erotique have a close profile.
