What does Provence smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it makes itself known without pushing. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter well behind. Daily wear, leisure and business settings lead the occasion votes. Its character isn't pulled in one direction: masculine and feminine votes sit close together.

Provençal lavender, true lavender and Provençal clary sage form the backbone. Spearmint and green notes add a cool, herbal freshness, while bergamot brings a light citrus lift. Black pepper and nutmeg carry the spice. Le Couvent Aqua Imperi and Burberry High Tea have a close profile.
