What does Fleur de Foudre / Foudre smell like?

White champaca gives the opening a bright floral lift. In the heart, pepper, vetiver and aldemone pull the scent towards spicy, green and woody ground. The base of musk, black tea absolute and cashmeran softens everything into a powdery finish. Aquatic and fruity touches add a sweet, slightly synthetic freshness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and business wear leading. Votes on character split between feminine and masculine, so it reads as truly unisex. Otto Kern Rose and Le Labo Baie Rose 26 have a close profile.
