SpicyWhat does 803 Embruns Gingembre Patchouli smell like?
It opens with juniper berry, ginger and pink pepper, a sharp, spicy start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, spindrift and aniseed move it towards a salty freshness. The base of algae, patchouli and ambergris keeps the green, aquatic feel to the end.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and it reads more masculine than feminine. Its profile is close to Brise Marine and Beach Bizarre.
