What does Paris - Riviera smell like?

The scent reads as one piece: neroli and Sicilian orange give a bright, slightly green freshness, and white blossoms add a floral softness. Sandalwood and musk set a powdery, creamy, mildly sweet base underneath.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it sits closest to daily wear, leisure and the office. It draws the most votes as feminine, though it is unisex. M. Asam Sicilian Orange and Jeanne en Provence Iris & Néroli have a close profile.
