What does Eaux de Caron Forte smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with orange, bergamot, blackcurrant and apple. In the heart, lilac, neroli and coriander bring a floral, spicy greenness, and the base of musk, amber and cedar settles into a woody, slightly powdery and smoky ground.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it leaves a quiet trail close to the skin. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Acqua di Taormina Petra Lavica and Rancé 1795 Heroïque have a close profile.
