What does Eau des Minimes smell like?

Blood orange, lemon and grapefruit lead the scent, while neroli and pansy add a soft floral touch. Rosemary and burdock bring a green, slightly spicy edge, and mallow and benzoin round off the brightness.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office are the favoured settings. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level. Penhaligon's Eau de Cologne and Geo. F. Trumper Eau de Cologne have a close profile.
