WoodyWhat does Bigarade smell like?
It opens with citrus fruits and aldehydes, fresh and bright. In the heart, bitter orange softens into floral notes, and the green, fruity side comes forward. Oakmoss lays an woody, earthy base underneath, while spicy and lightly sweet touches keep it in a chypre mould. Its profile is close to Lenthéric Gold and Nicolaï Vie de Château Intense.
