What does Xeryus Rouge (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest autumn, then winter and spring, with summer picked less often. It suits evenings and nights out best, though leisure, daytime and office wear get votes too. Around half of voters find it masculine.

It opens with green cactus and kumquat, a fresh, fruity start. Red pepper adds spice and warmth in the heart, and cedarwood lays a woody base underneath. Fresh and floral sides sit alongside a sweet, oriental tone, with a clearly synthetic feel.
