CreamyWhat does Cologne Française smell like?
Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and for daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and it doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine, sitting close to both.
Neroli and fig tree lead, giving a clean, green feel. Orris butter adds a powdery, creamy softness, while musk and tree moss provide a woody, lightly spicy base. Celine Rimbaud and Yves Saint Laurent Trench have a close profile.
