What does Ivre de Vie smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Most votes gather in autumn and winter, with spring taking a fair share too. Nights out and evenings lead the occasions, followed by leisure time. It reads as unisex, with no clear lean toward masculine or feminine.

The top notes of blackcurrant, rose liqueur, blackberry and grape skin build a dense fruity sweetness. In the heart, geranium, rose and linden blossom carry the floral side, while vinyl adds a synthetic edge. The base of white musk, patchouli, birch and amber leaves a spicy, smoky, warm trail. Mancera Roses Greedy and Guerlain Florabloom have a close profile.
