What does Édition Rare - Vidi smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate: present, but never filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily and business use leading the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads open to either.
It opens with cucumber, ozonic notes and cardamom, a fresh and lightly spiced start. The heart brings cyclamen, saffron, rose and aquatic notes, with the floral side softened by a watery feel. The base of musk, vanilla, ambergris and blond woods settles it into a sweet, woody finish.
