What does Vouloir être ailleurs. C.G. smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily and leisure wear the most common uses and business wear close behind. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close without pressing on the room. Votes lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

Lemon leaf opens it with freshness and a green edge, and linden blossom comes forward after. In the base, beeswax absolute, acacia wood and hay sweeten it a little and settle it on a woody footing. The overall impression is fresh, floral and soft. Its profile is close to d'Orsay Tilleul (1995) and d'Orsay Tilleul pour la Nuit.
