What does Derring-Do smell like?

It opens with a rain accord, citrus notes and cyclamen, giving a clean, just-rinsed impression. In the heart, fougère notes and magnolia come forward, while musk, cedarwood and gaiac wood settle into a soft, dry woodiness at the base. The overall feel is aquatic and green, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for leisure, daily use and the office. Most see it as masculine. Pitralon Pitralon Polar and Birkholz Pacific Drive have a close profile.
