What does Geste smell like?

Most voters choose Geste for spring and fall, with summer close behind. It leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear, and is picked less often for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Half of the voters call it feminine.

The notes read as one whole: violet gives a floral, powdery softness, while pine resin adds a green, resinous freshness. Amber and musky notes sweeten the blend and settle it on a woody base. Synthetic and spicy facets stay in the background. Its profile is close to Starck Peau d'Ailleurs and Zara Parc Floral.
