What does Vivre (1971) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards daytime wear but also suits evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, and a good share call it classic.

The notes read as one whole: aromatic woods and spices give it a dry, woody base, while tropical plants add a green freshness. Bitter orange keeps it lively, and Bulgarian rose and tea blossom soften the floral side. Jean-Louis Scherrer and Guy Laroche Fidji have a close profile.
