What does X: L'Heure Folle smell like?
Currant, blueberry and grenadine give it a fruity sweetness, while violet adds a soft floral note. Pink pepper brings a little spice, and ivy and boxwood supply a green, woody backbone that keeps the sweetness in check. Aldehydes and blackcurrant keep the whole thing bright.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office are the leading occasions. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Sisley Izia and Nicolaï L'Eau miXte have a close profile.
