What does Fleuve Tendre smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn next and winter the least chosen season. It suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters lean slightly masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

The top notes of coriander, saffron, black pepper, nutmeg and mandarin orange give a spicy, bright start. Geranium and rose water bring a soft floral heart. Vetiver, patchouli and suede build a woody base, with civet and animalic notes adding depth, while aquatic and fruity touches keep it fresh. Hermès Un Jardin après la Mousson and Penhaligon's Zizonia have a close profile.
