What does Eau des Sens (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter well behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate; most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share find it masculine.

The fresh, citrus accord leads, with the sourness of bitter orange softened by the floral side of orange blossom. Angelica and juniper berry add a green, lightly spicy tone, while patchouli leaves a powdery, sweet base. Altogether it reads bright and fruity. Diptyque Eau des Sens Édition Limitée 2019 and Marrakech Imperial Take Me Back to Marrakech have a close profile.
