What does Couleur Primaire / Exemplaire Unique smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall and winter chosen less often. Daily, leisure and business settings lead, while evening and night out draw few votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Feminine votes edge ahead, yet masculine votes are close behind, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.
Fresh, floral and aquatic accords dominate, softened by fruity, powdery and creamy touches. The top holds pear and aldehydes. In the heart, peony, rose and jasmine form a floral core. Musk and ambroxan close it in the base, leaving a clean, slightly synthetic trail.
