What does Granville smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift from lemon and mandarin orange. The heart turns green and spicy with thyme, rosemary and pine. Sandalwood and black pepper in the base settle it onto a dry, woody ground.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and the office leading the occasions. Though filed as a women's perfume, voters read it as more masculine than feminine. Its profile is close to Acqua di Parma Colonia C.L.U.B. and Yves Rocher Temps Frais.
