What does French Riviera smell like?

It opens with tangerine, orange and lemon, sharpened a little by ginger and pepper. The heart brings tiaré, mimosa and vetiver for a floral, green middle, while spindrift and iodine add a salty, sea-air freshness. White musk and amber give the base a sweet, creamy finish, and sea salt carries the aquatic mood to the end.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business and sport also named. More voters call it masculine or modern than feminine, yet it suits anyone, whatever their gender.
