What does Eau Captivante smell like?

It opens with green lemon and bergamot, a crisp citrus lift. Mint and basil bring the green side forward in the heart, while the aquatic and fruity accords sweeten it lightly. Lavender and woody notes settle underneath as a soft, slightly spicy base.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office use are the main suggestions. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine. It has been discontinued.
