What does Eau de Biarritz smell like?

It opens with magnolia and bergamot: the bergamot brings brightness, the magnolia a soft floral note. In the heart, spindrift and brown algae give a salty, aquatic feel, sweetened by tonka bean. Siam benzoin and Mysore sandalwood settle into a creamy, warm base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, with evening and business also getting votes. Féraud Bonheur and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia have a close profile.
