What does Scarlet Beetroot smell like?

Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind and winter well back. Leisure and daytime wear lead, while evening and office also get votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters call it feminine and modern, with some reading it as masculine.

Blackcurrant opens with a fruity, sweet freshness. Beetroot in the heart brings out the earthy and green side, and patchouli in the base carries that earthy feel through. The gourmand-leaning sweetness sits alongside a bright, synthetic edge.
