What does Sanguine smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: citrus fruits give a bright start, petitgrain adds a green, slightly bitter edge, and musk softens it all onto a powdery base. Fruity and spicy tones stay in the background, and a faintly synthetic sheen shows up now and then.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and the occasions named most are leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though a fair share see it the other way. Perfumes with a close profile include Penhaligon's The Ingénue Cousin Flora and Kiehl's Forest Rain.
