What does Eau Suave smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter far behind. Daily wear and leisure lead, and it is also said to suit the office. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, while some call it classic.

Peach, apricot and raspberry give it a fruity sweetness, which rose and tea rose steer towards the floral side. Saffron, coriander and pepper add spice, and white musk and Bourbon vanilla soften the whole. Oakmoss and patchouli form the chypre frame. Jean Patou Que Sais-Je? and Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse have a close profile.
