What does Vrai smell like?
It lasts a moderate length of time and sits close to the skin, with weak sillage. Most voters pick summer and spring. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Voters are split on whether it reads masculine or feminine.
The opening is led by citrus and vervain, then cardamom, basil and thyme add a green, lightly spicy edge. Iris, moss and jasmine leave a calm floral base. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin and Hermès Eau de Basilic Pourpre have a close profile.
