What does La Route des Épices - Cap Verde smell like?

Voters pick it mostly for spring and summer, and suggest it for daily wear, leisure and the office, while evenings and nights come second. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits anyone after a light, quiet scent. Most voters read it as masculine.

The top is bergamot, mandarin orange and clary sage, opening fresh, citrusy and green. In the heart, lavender, star anise and finger lime add a spicy, fruity touch, with sweetness kept light. Vetiver, patchouli and musk give the base a woody footing. Sospiro Mezzo and Moschino Forever (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
