What does Red Heart V.3 smell like?

It opens bright and slightly sharp with bergamot, red apple and pink pepper. In the heart, tuberose, Brazilian guava, cinnamon and frankincense bring fruit and flowers together, softened by spice. The base of vanilla, musk, sandalwood and patchouli settles into a creamy, woody and faintly smoky finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind and summer a small share. It suits evenings, nights out and leisure time, and most voters read it as feminine. Thameen The Hope and Map of the Heart Gold Heart V.4 have a close profile.
