What does Red Door Shimmer smell like?
Most voters wear it in fall and winter, in the evening or on a night out; spring follows, while summer is rarely chosen. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a quiet but noticeable trail.
It opens with yuzu leaf, pink pepper, pear and blackberry, a citrusy, fruity start with a light spicy edge. The heart of gardenia, Casablanca lily and peony builds a floral body. In the base, red amber, sandalwood and tonka bean sweeten it and add a powdery, oriental warmth. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and Lolita Lempicka L (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
