What does Salute ! smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also suits business and evenings. Voters see it as both masculine and feminine.

Citrus leads the top notes. Towards the heart, grape leaf adds a green edge, while wine lees and iris bring a soft, powdery touch. Oakmoss, musk and oak wood dry it down on a woody base. Eau de Rochas Fraîche and Eau d'Hadrien have a close profile.
