What does Eau Capitale (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters say it lasts a long time. Spring and fall are the seasons it leans towards, with winter and summer a little behind. Leisure and evening wear come first, and it also works at the office. It is unisex, though voters read it as more feminine than masculine.

Rose and bergamot bring freshness and a soft floral edge, while pink pepper adds spice. Moss and patchouli set a green, woody and earthy base. Camille Leguay Principe Féminin and Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée have a close profile.
