From your scent profile
L'Occitane en Provence Eau Universelle is a unisex scent that carries the fresh opening of grapefruit and bergamot into a floral, green heart of petitgrain and geranium; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

AnimalWhat does Eau Universelle smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, with most voters scoring both low. It reads as a light, close-to-skin everyday scent. It carries no gender lean and wears as unisex.
Citrus and fresh accords lead: grapefruit and bergamot give a bright start. In the heart, petitgrain and geranium add a soft floral touch, and the scent turns fruity and lightly sweet. It dries down on musk and woody notes, with a spicy, faintly animal warmth.
