What does O.W. C'est toujours agréable d'être attendu. smell like?
Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so this is a first impression rather than a firm verdict. Its soft, easy character reads as unisex.
Italian bergamot, bitter orange and Italian lemon give a bright citrus opening. In the heart, Madagascan ginger adds a spicy warmth. The base of Haitian vetiver, ambroxan and white musk settles into a dry, woody, clean finish. Laboratorio Olfattivo Need_U and bdk Parfums Sel d'Argent have a close profile.
