What does Beau de Provence smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with bergamot, Italian grapefruit and fig tree. At the heart, ylang-ylang adds a soft floral touch while mint and basil bring a green, lightly spicy edge. The base is built on Atlas cedar, Java vetiver and sandalwood, with Indonesian patchouli adding a faint earthy warmth.

Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Votes on character are split closely between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on anyone. Burberry for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Profumum Roma Orangea have a close profile.
