What does Sapphire Blue / Rock 'n' Rouge smell like?

It opens with tangerine, spices, bay rum and almond: a fruity brightness warmed by spice, with the almond adding sweetness. In the heart, tonka bean, orchid and jasmine bring a creamy, floral softness. The base of musk, jasmine and vanilla dries down powdery and sweet.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring; it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also suits leisure time and the workday. Over half of voters find it feminine. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and Gritti White Almond have a close profile.
