From your scent profile
Gendarme Carrière opens on lemon and lime and reads as a fresh, green-edged fragrance for women.
Skunky's take: The scent you will reach for once T-shirt weather is back.

A short but sweet date; a travel size in your bag is a good idea.

Lemon and lime lead at the top, with bergamot and lavender in the heart. Jasmine and lilac in the base add a soft floral note. Citrus dominates, while the fruity and lightly spicy touches stay in the background of a fougère frame.
Longevity is rated weak, so it may need topping up through the day. Its light, airy character suits warm weather and everyday wear. Gendarme Gendarme (Eau de Cologne) and Lush Dad's Garden Lemon Tree have a close profile.
