What does Coup de Foudre smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and its longevity is rated good with moderate sillage. It suits leisure and daily wear, and it also works for the office. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it modern. It has been discontinued.

It opens with pink grapefruit, Italian lemon and bergamot, with pink pepper adding a light spice. The heart is led by May rose absolute, purple peony, magnolia and Egyptian jasmine absolute. In the base, vetiver, white moss, musk and Venezuelan tonka bean soften it and add a touch of sweetness. Green and fruity facets run through it.
