What does Cologne de Feu smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and they place it in daily, leisure and office settings. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and the votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

The top is a bright citrus opening of lemon, tangerine, blood orange and bitter orange. In the heart, peach sorbet, tea and jasmine sweeten it and add a soft floral touch. The base settles on gaiac wood, sandalwood and cedar, which give it a woody footing.
