What does Soleil Piquant smell like?

It opens bright with sea breeze, mandarin orange and bergamot, while orange blossom brings the floral side in right away. In the heart, almond blossom, iris and neroli lead, and the spicy, fruity touches show up here too. Vanilla adds sweetness in the base, and patchouli and vetiver settle it onto a dry, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with autumn trailing behind. It is used mostly for business, leisure and daily wear, and it also gets votes for evening and night out. Voters find it clearly feminine. Xerjoff Nero70 and Les Eaux Primordiales Néroli have a close profile.
