What does Lost Cause (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with rhubarb, apple, blackcurrant leaf and Italian bergamot, giving a crisp, slightly sour greenery. The heart of lily of the valley, jasmine and freesia adds a soft floral touch, while ambergris, maté absolute, vanilla orchid and orris concrete settle it onto a powdery, lightly sweet base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads balanced between the two. It has been discontinued.
