What does Emotional Drop / Emotional Rescue smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Around half of voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Gooseberry and neroli give the top a citrusy, fruity lift, while violet leaf adds the green edge. In the heart, orris, rose and blackcurrant blossom bring a soft floral note. The base of vetiver, fir balsam and sandalwood settles into an woody, earthy, slightly smoky finish.
