What does Desire Blue (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear, sport and business are the occasions named most often. Most voters call it masculine and modern.

It opens with lychee, lotus leaf, bergamot and mandarin orange, a light, fruity freshness. Marine notes, rosewood and orange carry the heart. In the base, musk, benzoin, amber and tonka bean sweeten it slightly and settle it onto a woody footing.
