EarthyWhat does Series 8: Energy C - Grapefruit smell like?
It opens on petitgrain, grapefruit and blackcurrant. In the heart, neroli, jasmine and mandarin orange keep the citrus soft and floral. The base of musk, oakmoss and iris settles the fruity, spicy character onto an earthy ground.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with sport and business use after that. Boadicea the Victorious Energizer and Azzaro Pure Cedrat have a close profile.
