What does Joie de Vie smell like?

It opens with mint, lemon vervain, lime and bergamot, giving a cool, sharp citrus feel. In the heart, ginger adds a spicy warmth while lemon vervain keeps the green tone going. Cedarwood and dry woods in the base settle it onto a woody footing.

Voters pick daily wear most often, followed by leisure and business, with some also choosing it for sport. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Those after a similar profile could also look at Atkinsons Mint & Tonic and Douglas Energising Ginger & Lime.
