What does Riverside Drive smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most people read it as masculine.

It opens with violet, watery fruits and basil, which keep it fresh and green at first. In the heart, lily of the valley, rose and pineapple add a floral, fruity sweetness. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedarwood dries it down to a woody, earthy finish.
