What does New Romantics smell like?

The scent is built entirely from citrus notes, davana and pimento. The citrus gives a lively, fresh base, davana adds a soft, fruity sweetness, and pimento leaves a light touch of spice behind. A creamy texture and a slightly synthetic air round the sweetness off.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but not loud trail on the skin. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Those after a similar profile could also look at Balea Wake Up Call and Joop! Joop! Go.
