What does Sacrebleu (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. Evenings and nights out lead the occasions, and most voters find it feminine.
Red fruits and mandarin orange open it with some brightness, while cinnamon, carnation, jasmine and tuberose form a floral, spicy heart. In the base, patchouli, tonka bean, Peru balsam, frankincense and sandalwood take it towards a sweet, woody, smoky warmth. Joop! Joop! Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Nicolaï Sacrebleu Intense have a close profile.
