What does Etiquette Bleue (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon, rosemary and orange, a citrusy, green and airy start. In the heart, myrrh, orange blossom and rosewood add a soft floral and spicy touch. The base of sandalwood and ambergris settles into a sweet, woody finish.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet profile. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind, and it is chosen mainly for daytime, the office and leisure. Slightly more voters call it feminine, though a sizeable share read it as masculine.
