What does L'Amour, la Mode... smell like?

It has moderate sillage and good longevity. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring following. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, and is also worn for business. Most voters read it as feminine, while some find it masculine.

Lemon, pink pepper and Italian bergamot give it a fresh, lightly spicy opening. At the heart, red rose softens with lipstick and powdery notes into a floral, sweet powder. The base of white musk, leather and Haitian vetiver leaves a green, woody, slightly animalic trail.
