What does Fruit of Paradise smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure, business and daily wear, and much less for evenings and nights out. It suits anyone wanting an easy, light everyday scent.

After the citrus top, peach and blackcurrant tilt the floral heart towards fruity and sweet. The base rests on Nordmann fir, Douglas fir, cedarwood, juniper and sandalwood, giving a woody, resinous footing, while green and creamy touches soften the whole. Creed Aventus for Her and Xerjoff Uden have a close profile.
