What does Eau du Gantier / Eau Élégante smell like?

It opens with lemon, grapefruit and bergamot for a bright citrus start. In the heart, vervain adds a green freshness while blackberry and raspberry bring a fruity sweetness. Sandalwood and musk settle it onto a soft, woody base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads mostly feminine to voters, though some find it masculine. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Fraîcheur Muskissime and Dior Cologne Royale have a close profile.
