What does Need_U (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Italian lemon and pink pepper: the lemon brings brightness while the pepper adds a light spice. In the heart, white blossoms and jasmine carry the freshness on alongside spindrift. Sandalwood, ambroxan and white musk form a soft, woody base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. Most voters pick spring and summer, and lean towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes for feminine and masculine are close. Jil Sander Pure and bdk Parfums Sel d'Argent have a similar profile.
