What does Bleu Framboise smell like?

The notes follow no top-to-base order; the perfume reads as a single piece. Raspberry, grapefruit and mandarin orange give it a fruity brightness, while galbanum and rhubarb add a green edge. Rose, jasmine, chamomile and geranium form the floral core, and oakmoss with patchouli sets a woody, earthy, slightly resinous ground.

Most voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays on skin for a reasonable time without filling a room. Autumn, spring and summer draw similar support, with winter trailing. It leans towards leisure and office wear, and most voters read it as feminine, with a share calling it classic.
