What does L'Eau Pâle smell like?

Voters lean towards spring for it, with fall and summer close behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Its longevity and sillage are moderate; the largest share of voters finds it feminine, though it wears as unisex.

It opens with pink pepper and lemon zest, a bright, lightly spicy start. The heart brings lavender, petitgrain and vanilla, the vanilla softening it with a creamy sweetness. In the base, vetiver, orris, benzoin and ambroxan set down a powdery, woody foundation.
