What does Vivace smell like?

It opens green and fresh with lime, basil and oregano, with clary sage alongside. The heart turns warm and spicy with patchouli, cinnamon and clove, while geranium adds a floral edge. The base settles into oakmoss, labdanum and ambergris, giving an earthy, resinous, smoky foundation, with castoreum adding an animal touch.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening and for leisure. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Jil Sander Man Pure and Ungaro pour L'Homme have a close profile.
