What does Gendarme (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, with daily wear, leisure and the office leading the occasions. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters read it as masculine, though classic and modern are close behind.

Lemon, lime and bergamot carry the scent, while jasmine and lilac add a soft floral side and lavender brings a green, lightly spicy touch. The fresh and aquatic accords lead, with a powdery trace in the background. Gendarme Carrière and Lush Dad's Garden Lemon Tree have a close profile.
