What does Red smell like?

The top notes bring coconut, pink pepper, bergamot, cardamom and mandarin orange, so it opens fruity and spiced. In the heart, clove, jasmine, iris, fig and walnut come forward. The base of caramel, sandalwood and white musk settles into a creamy, sweet woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and favour leisure time, evenings and nights out. More voters call it feminine, but a fair share see it as masculine, so it sits between the two. Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal pour Homme Absolu and The Dua Brand Popped Cherry have a close profile.
