What does Eau Papaguéna smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring for it, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters split between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The top notes of tarragon, spearmint, cardamom and Calabrian bergamot bring coolness and a little spice. The heart, with Sicilian citrus fruits and orange blossom absolute, turns softer, floral and fruity. In the base, musk, cypress, Haitian vetiver and frankincense settle the scent into a woody, creamy footing.
