What does Crimson Desire (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, so it stays noticeable on the skin and around you well into the day. As an Extrait de Parfum it is easier to wear with a light hand, and it doesn't lean towards either men or women.

It opens with peach and fruits softened by floral notes, with an animalic trace behind them. Towards the heart, red fruits, green tea and herbs come forward, with amber adding warmth. In the base, wild berries, black musk and soil take over, leaving a sweet, spicy and faintly woody finish. Zoologist Bat and elkhaldi Nectar Royale have a close profile.
