What does Red (Dakota) smell like?

The opening leads with gardenia and clementine: a soft floral note under a bright citrus lift. In the heart, amber and woods add warmth and a dry, woody backbone. The base closes on wild berries, leaving a sweeter, fruity trace. Green, spicy and slightly synthetic touches run through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate by those who voted, so it is neither loud nor faint, though the small number of votes means these ratings are only a rough guide. The fresh, fruity profile sits comfortably on men and women alike. Bronnley Lime & Bergamot and Santa Maria Novella Cinquanta have a close profile.
