What does Beau Gosse (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is led by watery fruits, aquatic flowers, bergamot and citrus fruits, giving a green, aquatic and lightly floral freshness. Cardamom and clove add spice in the heart, and musk and cedarwood settle it on a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits anyone who wants a light scent that stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most find it masculine. Cerruti 1881 Sport and Jil Sander Sun Men have a close profile.
