What does Eau de Courrèges (1974) smell like?

Taken as a whole it reads fresh and green: mint and citrus notes carry the lift, while the chypre accord and musk settle it onto a woody, lightly spicy and earthy base. The floral side stays in the background, leaving a clean but composed scent.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Though sold as feminine, some voters find it masculine, so it moves between the two. Dior Eau Sauvage Extrême and Sisley Eau de Campagne have a close profile.
