What does Frenchy Lavande / Le Frenchy smell like?

The top is a bright citrus opening of lemon, vervain, petitgrain and bergamot. In the heart, sage, neroli and lavender bring a green, lightly spicy fougère feel. The base of tonka bean, vetiver and ambergris adds a woody footing and softens the whole.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though it reads as unisex. Emir Ultra Citrus and Riiffs Freshly have a close profile.
