What does Sacrebleu Intense smell like?

It is rated strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is mostly worn in the evening or on a night out. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, and a fair share call it classic.

It opens with red fruits, bergamot and mandarin orange for a bright, fruity start. The heart builds a floral-spicy body of cinnamon, coriander, carnation, tuberose and jasmine. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean absolute, benzoin and amber settle it into a woody, powdery, sweet warmth.
