What does Floral Curiosities - Scarlet Larkspur smell like?

The top is fruity: red currant, blood orange, black raspberry and sour cherry, with Bordeaux wine adding a darker edge. Saffron, nutmeg and cardinal larkspur come through in the heart, and the base of Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean dries down powdery, creamy and sweet.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some choosing it for the office. Most voters read it as feminine.
