What does Arlésienne (2016) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer; leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Most see it as feminine, while some call it classic and others modern.

Galbanum, saffron and bergamot lead, giving a green, citrusy opening. Violet leaf and rose carry the floral heart, and white musk with ambrette settle it into a soft, powdery base. Carthusia Aria di Capri and Tous Tous have a close profile.
