What does Series 2: Red - Harissa smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a soft trail rather than a loud one. Most voters point to summer and spring, with fall close behind. It suits leisure and daily wear best, and a fair share of voters also find it right for the office. Voters lean towards masculine, though a good number read it as feminine.

Blood orange and tomato give it a fresh, juicy start, while cardamom, nutmeg, Moroccan spices and red chili lay a warm, sharp spice over it. Saffron and angelica add a green, faintly earthy depth. The fruity, citrus side keeps the spice from turning heavy.
