What does La Vie en Rouge smell like?

The top notes are neroli, bergamot, clove and rosewood, with pine adding a green edge. In the heart, jasmine, vetiver and patchouli lead, while cedarwood and amber give it an earthy, resinous footing. The base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla softens everything and brings out the gourmand side. Its accords run from floral, green and sweet to gourmand, spicy and woody. Jacques Battini Selection and Birkholz Berlin Dream have a close profile.
