What does Red Door (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with peach, plum and rose, joined by orange blossom and violet. In the heart, tuberose, jasmine and ylang-ylang build out the floral core while honey adds sweetness. The base closes warm, woody and powdery, with sandalwood, amber and musk.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out over summer or the office. Its character reads feminine and classic. Revlon Charlie Red and Givenchy Amarige have a close profile.
