What does Rivières de Cartier - Insouciance smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin without crowding anyone. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is mainly chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters mostly call it feminine, though it remains a unisex scent.

Taken as a whole, it runs along a fresh, green line. The powdery, floral side of iris and violet leads, and the fruit tree woods soften it. Spicy and woody touches stay in the background. Santa Maria Novella Iris (Eau de Cologne) and L'Artisan Parfumeur Verte Violette have a close profile.
