What does Coup de Foudre (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. On character, feminine votes edge ahead, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with bergamot, lemon, grapefruit and black pepper, bright and sharp. In the heart, May rose, jasmine and tuberose build a full floral body. The base turns creamy, sweet and woody with vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and sandalwood. Boucheron Jaïpur Homme and Roja Parfums Danger have a close profile.
