What does Boisé Fruité smell like?

It opens with those three citrus notes, fresh, green and lightly fruity. Violet leaf brings a floral, green touch in the heart. Java vetiver and Mysore sandalwood settle underneath and give the dry-down a woody line.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear and also suits the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it sits between the two. Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 and Commodity Bergamot have a close profile.
