What does Red Door Aura smell like?
Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, while winter hardly features. Daily and leisure wear come first, with the office also getting a share. Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, so it neither fades quickly nor fills a room.
It opens with raspberry, bergamot and orange blossom, giving a fresh, fruity start with a light citrus edge. Rose and jasmine carry the floral heart. In the base, musk, sandalwood and amber settle it onto a sweet, woody, powdery ground, with a faint animal note in the background.
