What does Eau des Délices smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure and daily wear leading and some choosing the office. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Character votes are split between masculine, classic and feminine.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, Italian lemon and Brazilian orange in a bright citrus layer, while vervain and petitgrain add a green edge. The heart of neroli, orange blossom, lavender and clary sage turns floral and lightly spicy. Patchouli, vetiver, moss and musk leave a calm, earthy base. Givenchy Eau de Givenchy (2018) and Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia have a close profile.
