What does Côte d'Amour smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits anyone who wants a light scent that stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions it gets chosen for most. Voters lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

The salty, citrusy opening gives way to cypress, rose and coconut in the heart, which add a soft, floral, slightly sweet touch. The base of pine, driftwood and heather dries down green and woody.
