What does Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes tilt towards feminine, though it reads fine as unisex.

Rhubarb sits at the centre, wrapped in a fresh, citrusy, green feel. West Indian lantana adds a soft floral touch, and white musk gathers everything on a clean, lightly sweet base. The fruity side stays light and never turns heavy. Prada Infusion de Rhubarbe and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia have a close profile.
