What does The Code of Emotion (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes of bergamot and pink pepper give a bright, lightly spicy start. In the heart the fruit comes forward, while lavender and pelargonium keep that sweetness on a floral, aromatic line. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, cedarwood and oakmoss adds a woody, creamy foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure time and evenings. It reads as modern and feminine first, yet a fair number of voters find it masculine.
