What does Hémisphère Sud smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and the occasions that lead are leisure, business and daily wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin.

The top opens with Indian black pepper, pink pepper and Brazilian orange, giving a spicy, fruity brightness. Egyptian jasmine, Egyptian white lotus and Chinese peony form the heart, with an aquatic accord cooling the florets. The base of patchouli, vanilla, musk and amber settles into a soft, sweet finish.
