What does Paris - Édimbourg smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays comfortable in warm weather. It suits everyday wear, the office and relaxed time off. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Juniper berry, lemon and bergamot give it a fresh, citrusy feel, while cypress and cedarwood add a green, woody line. Vetiver sits underneath, dry and earthy. Fresh and spicy accords come through clearly. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vétyver Haïti and Proraso Cypress & Vetyver have a close profile.
