What does Sud Est (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, though plenty also choose summer. Leisure and evening are the most named occasions, with business and daytime close behind.

It opens with bergamot, basil, jasmine and hyacinth. The heart leans on herbal and spicy notes: coriander, laurel, thyme, rosemary and cinnamon. Musk, woods and balsam settle underneath, softening everything into a woody base. Rochas Eau de Rochas and Givenchy III have a close profile.
