What does Story Red (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The scent reads as a single piece: peppermint brings coolness, orange blossom adds a soft floral note, and amber sets both on a sweet, warm base. Fresh, citrus and floral accords lead, while fruity, spicy and powdery tones stay in the background, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters place it mostly on nights out and evenings, though daily and office wear also get votes. It is made for men. Potter & Moore Orange Flower and Amber and Profumum Roma Antico Caruso have a close profile.
