SyntheticWhat does Eau Torride smell like?
Longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on only a few votes. Overall it reads as a fresh, citrusy, floral women's scent, with no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion.
The top brings bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and peach, citrusy with a light fruity edge. In the heart, bamboo, elder and jasmine add a green, floral tone. Jasmine carries on into the base, where sandalwood dries the scent down with a soft woodiness. The aquatic and green sides stay in balance, with the sweeter notes kept in the background.
