What does Rouge Avignon smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while spring and summer trail behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out; more voters call it feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

Rose, raspberry and ylang-ylang open it with a floral fruitiness. At the heart, hinoki wood, vetiver, cocoa and black truffle add a dark, woody depth. The base of musk, sandalwood and amber settles into a sweet, soft trail. Initio Blessed Baraka and Lattafa Nakahat Al Oud have a close profile.
