What does Escale à Parati smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits easily in daytime settings such as work and leisure. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine, so it doesn't draw a hard line.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and bitter orange for a citrus lift. The heart brings red berries, mint, cinnamon and rosewood, a floral, green and lightly spicy blend. Tonka bean in the base softens and sweetens the finish.
