What does Cœur Fou smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though these ratings rest on only a few votes.

It opens with blackcurrant bud and basil, green and slightly fruity. The heart is given over to Turkish and Bulgarian damask rose, which keeps the floral side in front. Moss and patchouli then ground it, while the sweet and spicy tones stay in the background. Maison Margiela On a Date and Perfumer H Water Lily have a close profile.
