What does Le Rivage des Syrtes smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind and winter well back. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions that lead. Close to half of voters call it feminine.
The opening pairs the bright fruitiness of pineapple and orange with the sharp green edge of galbanum. In the heart, ylang-ylang, tuberose and orange blossom absolute build a floral body, with Somalian frankincense adding a spicy note. The base of Bourbon vanilla, musk and ambergris sweetens and softens the whole.
