What does La Voile Rouge smell like?

It opens with bergamot and blackcurrant bud, a bright, crisp start. Lavender and vetiver form the heart, adding a green, lightly spicy feel. Patchouli, cedar and oakmoss settle underneath as a dry, resinous woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it suits daily and leisure wear best, with evening and office use also voted. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, and many call it classic. Its profile is close to L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau du Caporal and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Racine.
